Thank you for your gift!

Thank you sooooooo much for making it possible for my sisters and me to come to camp this summer. It was so fun—the best 10 days of my life (so far)! I had a blast rafting and on Alpine Day, but all the days were fun. Thanks again!

    A huge thank you to the Wiener Family Future Foundation for their generous 2006 donation of a new 15-passenger van!  With transportation now available to and from activities, CYP is able to reach more kids than ever before.  The Wiener Family's gift connects Colorado youth with the outdoors on a daily basis and will continue to do so for years to come.  Thank you, Wiener Family, for your generosity and spirit of community!

    Keep an eye out for the beautiful silver van with the CYP logo--wherever it goes, there's bound to be fun!
