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 />
