The holidays can be especially challenging for the youth in our care. Their lives often look very different from their peers’, and they face hardships and stigmas that no child should have to endure. That’s why we go above and beyond to ensure they feel safe, loved, and cherished during Christmastime – just as every child deserves.

One powerful way we achieve this is by offering shared experiences during the holiday break. These group outings, like skiing, visiting waterparks, or overnight stays at a hot springs, not only create joy and excitement but also help foster connections between youth and staff, building trust and creating lifelong memories.

But these outings, which can involve up to eight youth and staff, come with significant costs. With your support, we can provide these transformative experiences, giving our kids the chance to enjoy firsts they will never forget.

Your generosity can make all the difference in creating moments of joy and belonging for the youth in our care. Thank you for helping us bring the magic of the holidays to life for them.

A trip to Elkhorn Hot Springs!

Elkhorn Hot Springs is a favorite destination for the youth in our care. Many of them grapple with low self-esteem due to the trauma they’ve endured, and engaging with their bodies in positive, healthy ways can be profoundly healing. Soaking in the hot springs offers a relaxing and wholesome experience, one that most teens might not consider but deeply appreciate once introduced. Your support can help provide these gentle, restorative outings, giving our kids the chance to feel better both inside and out while discovering a new way to find peace and joy.

This fundraising goal is based upon the average cost for all homes to take their kids to Elkhorn Hot Springs for a nightincluding lodging, food, and travel.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps create joyful and meaningful experiences for our youth!
