Support the Bend Endurance Academy: Empower Youth Through Outdoor Adventure
Since 2009, Bend Endurance Academy has provided high-quality, youth-focused programs in Rock Climbing, Mountain Biking, and Nordic Skiing. We believe in the power of outdoor experiences to shape confident, capable, and resilient young people who carry the benefits of an active lifestyle well into adulthood.
Our mission is to champion healthy living and lifelong passion for sports with a focus on inclusion, personal growth, and community engagement to cultivate resilient, compassionate leaders for a unified future.
Serving more than 1,000 families each year across Central Oregon, we are committed to ensuring that our programs remain welcoming, inclusive, and accessible to all. As we continue to grow, the generosity of our community helps to lower the financial barrier to entry and open the door for more youth to experience the life-changing impact of sport.
Why Your Support Matters
-Increase Access
Your donation helps expand our need-based tuition assistance program, and full scholarship fund, so more young people can participate in competitive and recreational sport.
-Keep Programs Affordable
With your help, we can maintain accessible program costs while continuing to deliver safe, high-quality coaching and outdoor experiences for our athletes and families.
-Invest in Program Growth
In 2023, we opened a new office and youth-specific climbing facility, bringing our team and programming under one roof and strengthening our foundation. Your support ensures we can continue developing innovative, youth-centered programming across all three disciplines.
-Support Youth Development
Participation in our programs nurtures more than athletic skill. Young people develop confidence, discipline, a strong work ethic, and the ability to persevere through challenges. They also build meaningful relationships and gain a sense of belonging that helps them thrive in and out of sport.
-Encourage Healthy Lifestyles
By staying active in outdoor sports, youth are more likely to adopt long-term habits that promote physical and mental well-being. Our programs create a foundation for lifelong engagement in healthy, outdoor activities.
-Strengthen Community Connections
Through team-based experiences, volunteer opportunities, and local events, participants and families develop lasting ties to their community.
Together, We Create Opportunity
When you support Bend Endurance Academy, you help young people in our community stay active, build confidence, and discover new parts of themselves through meaningful outdoor experiences.
