Go Beyond
Mission: Go Beyond provides year-round outdoor experiences, featuring life-changing Mountain West Adventures.
Vision: Go Beyond's extraordinary outdoor adventures bring diverse groups of young people together to facilitate self-discovery and build community.
Focusing on trauma-impacted youth, our core program brings 13-15 year old's together from across our communities through year-round outings, building from our world-class mountain expeditions each summer. Our campers can continue their personal and job-skills growth through our Natural Leaders junior counselor program, ages 16-21, and many earn their first job as a paid member of our leadership teams
Our agency partnerships actively provide these Go Beyond opportunities to under-served groups from across our community, folks who would otherwise never have access.
We provide 366 hours/year together including local rock-climbing, hikes, science trips, and the mountain expedition of a lifetime. We create access to the outdoors and new trajectories with trauma-impacted youth - a new understanding of ourselves and diverse others growing from a wholly new peer group, none of our campers know each other prior to Go Beyond.
- Over 1200 young people from over 50 area schools and nonprofit partners have gone through our program in our 40 year history!
- A world-class mountain expedition experience provided at no cost! Our Centennial Ranch and Alpine Mountain Camp provide access to the best of the Mountain West!
