The Hike for Youth

This funding project was begun in 2004, and serves a coalition of non-profit agencies in the Denver/Boulder area whose mission is to educate youth in outdoor education, nature studies, personal growth using outdoor skills and environmental stewardship.

The event takes place in Golden Gate Canyon State Park, where hundreds of hikers gather, hike, raise funds through sponsorship and support of the work of benefiting agencies.

TheFerrantiFoundation serves as the founder of this event and its chief benefactor. Any coalition of outdoor education groups are welcome to contact Philip Ferranti in order to receive a logistical overview for starting your own event, and possible financial support.
