Thank you for supporting Experience Learning and Mountain Stewards Summer Camp in the Gear UP! raffle. Prize winners are noted below next to each prize.

COVID safety measures mean we need to purchase a raft of new gear to safely run our summer programs and so many local businesses and partners have stepped up to help YOU GEAR UP for summertime adventure and by purchasing raffle tickets, YOU help US GEAR UP for our first season of programming since 2019!

You can purchase tickets for one of three different raffles. Each ticket is a chance to win one of the prizes in that bundle. Tickets go on sale April 15 and the prize drawings will take place in early May. Browse the prize pots below!

What Folks are Saying:

  • We are free to have fun and learn in our own ways while still effectively accomplishing the goals of the program. – 2019 Summer Camper

  • I learned about who I am as a person and that if I look within myself I can find some of the strength and courage that I’ve felt was missing from me. – Summer Camper, Leadership Camp

  • That was the best experience of high school and allowed me to flourish in my further experiences in high school. Absolutely transformed my idea of my own physical, social, and mental capabilities and made me feel much more confident!!!! I couldn’t recommend it more. ~Former Summer Camper

  • I love the freedom at this camp. It doesn’t feel like a structured camp with strict rules. We are free to have fun and learn in our own ways while still effectively accomplishing the goals of the program. – camper

  • Mountain Stewards at Experience Learning is a fantastic week-long summer camp for kids who like the outdoors (or who WILL like the outdoors after this wonderful experience!) Stewardship of our natural resources, self-reliance, leadership, and fellowship, are all integral to this program. My daughter LOVES this camp, and that makes me a happy dad. Experience Learning also has great programs for learners of all ages. I recently completed an excellent Wilderness First Aid course at their wonderful Spruce Knob Mountain Center. Check it out! – Mark Wenzler
