At Twin Falls, a young person from Glacier Middle School carefully steps across a log, their rain pants and boots keeping them dry and steady. Their backpack full of snacks and gear moves with them as they focus on each step. 

This moment captures how many elements come together to make our adventures possible. The rain gear? Donated by REI, so every young person is ready for whatever the outdoors brings. The backpack? It features the Guardians of Grit logo, serving as a reminder of the supporters who help us keep our programs running. The hike itself? Led by our program coordinators and instructors who bring their expertise and passion to every hike, climb, or paddle.

Our point is, moments like this happen because of a shared vision—a network of supporters and partners coming together to ensure every young person has the opportunity for outdoor adventure and time in nature.
