Dear Friends of the BOEC<br />

Dear Friends of the BOEC,<br />

This year marks the 35th Anniversary of the<br />

BOEC! It has been quite a journey, full of<br />

growth and success (with just a few bumps in<br />

the road), and we can be proud of what we’ve<br />

become—one of the premier providers of<br />

outdoor adventure and education for people<br />

with disabilities and special needs. We have<br />

developed world-class programming in adaptive<br />

skiing and riding, rafting, canoeing, climbing,<br />

cycling, ropes course, and many types of<br />

wilderness adventure. Our Internship Program<br />

has been recognized nationally as one of the top<br />

internship opportunities in the country. Our<br />

mission, to expand the potential of people with<br />

disabilities and special needs, is as compelling<br />

and urgent today as it has ever been. We have<br />

built a solid foundation and we strive each year,<br />

each course, to make it better.<br />

We are pleased to report that FY 2010 – <strong>2011</strong><br />

(October, 2010 through September, <strong>2011</strong>)<br />

was yet another successful year for the BOEC.<br />

We served over 1,900 participants on nearly<br />

10,000 program days, with people coming from<br />

45 states and 6 countries! We ended the year<br />

in solid financial shape (though a small deficit<br />

was incurred due to the spending of restricted<br />

monies raised in previous years) and this despite<br />

a continued sluggish recovery in the economy.<br />

We were fortunate to have a banner snow year<br />

this year and the ski program enjoyed one of the<br />

best powder seasons ever. As the snows melted,<br />

however, high waters on the rivers presented<br />

us with a number of challenges. Despite these<br />

conditions, we enjoyed a safe and exhilarating<br />

summer season.<br />

Our Board of Trustees has continued to provide<br />

strong support and leadership to the BOEC. This<br />

year we bid farewell to three trustees—Mike<br />

Booth, Chris Carran and Tom McConnell<br />

who served two full terms on the Board. Many<br />

thanks to them for all they have done to help<br />

the success of the BOEC. We also welcomed five<br />

new trustees—Elbert Bivins, Gene Dayton, Scott<br />

Downen, Bill Gillilan and Craig Simson.<br />

Looking forward, we are not anticipating major<br />

growth in the next year. Our focus will be on<br />

retaining key clients (who continue to face<br />

funding challenges), seeking new sources of<br />

funding to enhance our traditional sources and<br />

increasing programs in our shoulder months. We<br />

are anticipating two major capital projects in<br />

the next few years. The Town of <strong>Breckenridge</strong><br />

has agreed to sell us our currently leased<br />

administrative building on Wellington Road.<br />

We will seek major funding for this purchase and<br />

renovation. Secondly, <strong>Breckenridge</strong> Ski Resort<br />

has given approval for the BOEC to expand the<br />

current ski office space in the Maggie building at<br />

the base of Peak 9. The proposed addition would<br />

almost double the current space. Those of you<br />

who have been in the ski office on a busy day<br />

know how important this addition is for us.<br />

The success of the BOEC is due to the heroic<br />

efforts of our staff, interns and volunteers, the<br />

support of our partners and agencies in the<br />

community, and most of all to the brave souls<br />

who come on our programs as students. Many<br />

thanks to you all and we look forward to next<br />

year!<br />

The Year in Highlights<br />

The BOEC delivered yet another successful year in<br />

FY 2010 – <strong>2011</strong>. We served 1,939 participants for a<br />

total of 9,613 programming days in our Adaptive<br />

Ski, Wilderness and Internship Programs. We<br />

continue to receive rave reviews from many of our<br />

students and partner agencies as we strive to bring<br />

the best in wilderness education to every course. The<br />

highlights:<br />

Programs<br />

Programs were full this year, with our major challenge<br />

being to manage courses while at capacity levels in<br />

summer and winter. Summer Wilderness Programs<br />

include the following:<br />

• The Children’s Hospital brought groups from their<br />

Sensory Integrative Disorder and Cerebral Palsy<br />

clinics for multi-day courses;<br />

• Two new courses were run for Wounded Warriors<br />

and their families—a 7-day float on the San Juan<br />

River in July and the <strong>Breckenridge</strong>-based Family<br />

Retreat in August;<br />

• The Brain Injury Alliance of Colorado did six<br />

multiple-day programs this summer, including the<br />

Ruby-Horsethief Colorado River trip and Creative<br />

Minds program in September.<br />

The Adaptive Ski and Ride Program conducted<br />

3,075 lessons, an all-time high. Highlights included:<br />

• For the third time, a group of disadvantaged<br />

youngsters from five countries in Africa skied with<br />

the BOEC in December through the B.O.L.D.<br />

Program (Building on Life’s Disappointments) and<br />

twenty-seven youth had the time of their lives and<br />

spent their first day ever on snow;<br />

• The U.S. Association of Blind Athletes had<br />

another successful program at the BOEC, bringing<br />

eighteen participants in March for three days of<br />

skiing and wilderness programming, including<br />

biathlon training at the Frisco Nordic <strong>Center</strong>;<br />

• The Children’s Hospital in Denver’s Cleft Palate<br />

Camp brought thirteen kids for three days of skiing<br />

and other activities;<br />

• The BOEC was awarded a grant from the U.S.<br />

Olympic Committee and the DiCola Family<br />

Foundation to strengthen our work with disabled<br />

veterans, bringing sixty vets and active service<br />

military to outdoor activities over the year.<br />

We extend a special thank you to Bob Bond, the<br />

BOEC’s Wilderness Program Director for the past 15<br />

years, who left his position this spring to pursue<br />

other opportunities. We are grateful for the steady<br />

hand and deep expertise that Bob brought to the<br />

BOEC and he will be missed. We are also very<br />

excited to welcome Doug Sandok as the new WPD.<br />

Doug brings more than 20 years of outdoor education<br />

instruction, management and consulting experience<br />

to the BOEC. Doug has already made his own mark<br />

on the program with his many new ideas, energy and<br />

vision.<br />

Volunteers<br />

Over 250 locals again volunteered their time to<br />

support the BOEC this year. Most volunteers worked<br />

as assistant ski instructors, providing much needed<br />

support to our students, many of whom need two to<br />

three staff in order to ski or ride. Others helped with<br />

wilderness summer programming, primarily in<br />

rafting and hand cycling, and others helped on<br />

special events. Many thanks to this devoted crew<br />

who make our program possible.<br />

Fundraising<br />

The BOEC raised over $644,000 from our generous<br />

supporters, nearly a 20% increase from last year!<br />

Most of these funds came from foundations and<br />

individuals, with a substantial increase in restricted<br />

donations. We raised nearly $170,000 for the<br />

scholarship fund and awarded over $153,000 to<br />

individuals in need of support. A special thanks to<br />

the Denver Active 20-30 Foundation and the<br />

Colorado Rockies Fund whose $40,000 donation is<br />

the centerpiece of our scholarship program.<br />

Special Events<br />

It was a great year for special events, with $103,000<br />

raised and a net income of over $80,000 (this<br />

includes both event revenues and related donations).<br />

These events not only raise much needed support for<br />

operations and scholarships, but also raise awareness<br />

of the BOEC in our community. Events included:<br />

• The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour<br />

features the best in outdoor-oriented films from<br />

around the world. This was our second year<br />

hosting the festival and the house was again sold<br />

out.<br />

• The Tee it Up for Wounded Warriors and KAC<br />

Golf Scramble, another second-time event, hosted<br />

109 golfers and several new sponsors to raise funds<br />

for the Keystone Adaptive <strong>Center</strong> and Wounded<br />

Warrior programs.<br />

• The 9th <strong>Annual</strong> Breckebeiner Ski-a-thon, hosted<br />

by Gene and Therese Dayton, owners of the the<br />

<strong>Breckenridge</strong> Nordic <strong>Center</strong>, brought over 200<br />

participants to ski or snowshoe for the BOEC<br />

“You all make it<br />

possible for people<br />

like me to feel<br />

great about themselves.”<br />

— Cassandra<br />

<strong>Breckenridge</strong> <strong>Outdoor</strong> <strong>Education</strong> <strong>Center</strong>


Scholarship Fund. It is also one of the best<br />

parties in the spring in Summit County!<br />

• Cinco de Mayo, hosted by the Mi Casa<br />

Restaurant in <strong>Breckenridge</strong>, brought community<br />

locals together for great food, live music and a<br />

silent auction, with all proceeds coming to the<br />

BOEC’s Willie Whalen Fund.<br />

• Our annual reception at Keystone to raise money<br />

and awareness for our Keystone Adaptive <strong>Center</strong><br />

was also a success with increased numbers.<br />

In addition, friends and supporters held their own<br />

events to benefit the BOEC, including the Luke<br />

“Milhouse” Memorial Run by the Oldenburg<br />

Family, “Deck the Hulls” party in Chicago by<br />

Kevin and Kirsten Hull, the North Face Speaker<br />

Series in <strong>Breckenridge</strong> and Tim Casey and Larry<br />

Crispell’s “ALS Vertical Challenge.”<br />

Thank you to all the participants, donors and<br />

sponsors who made our events so successful. We<br />

also celebrate the third anniversary of our<br />

Development Director, Marci Sloan, whose<br />

tireless efforts have been the hallmark of our<br />

events. She brought us the Banff festival, the golf<br />

event (she is an avid golfer) and has grown all<br />

events to historic levels. All of this on top of<br />

grantwriting and general fundraising.<br />

“The first year I did not want to go. I<br />

thought it would be lame and the kids<br />

would be really weird, but I went.<br />

And I found out the kids were just<br />

like me. It was so fun; I had such a<br />

great time…it was the best week of my<br />

life…”<br />
