Summer

The SOS experience doesn't have to end when the slopes close for the season, SOS also has summer adventures!

SOS summer programs bring youth closer to their backyard. The curriculum is designed to build character and develop leadership skills by introducing youth to outdoor activities and wilderness experiences. Participants are supported by field instructors and mentors who help participants get the most out of their time in the outdoors.

Why SOS?

The backyard experience begins when youth step outside their door and immerse themselves in the local landscape; a world of full of adventure and exploration. SOS Outreach programs provide youth with fun outdoor recreation, a value-based leadership curriculum, and positive learning opportunities tiered for specific ages and ability levels. Participants learn about teamwork, building individual skills in outdoor travel and backcountry practices, as well as how contribute to society through community service. SOS Outreach is the local source for youth wilderness adventure.

Where Do We Go?

Extending from the western flank of Summit County, CO to the western edges of Eagle County, CO the White River National Forest is host to cascading rivers and waterfalls, majestic vistas, high mountain peaks, colorful wildflowers, animals of all sizes, and a trail system that extends for miles.
