33 Wilderness Adventure Scholarships for 2022!

We are THRILLED to start our second year of Live Oak Wilderness Adventure.

Last year we saw the power of community as we raised $67,000 to get this program off the ground. That money covered scholarships, bought all our gear, and covered most of transportation to start this program.  

We saw 32 campers light up on top of mountains, smile under stars, and thrive while cooking meals around the campfire.  

We are growing.  We are piloting a trip to Big Bend, Texas with 8 of our returning high school campers.  We are adding 3 middle school trips to Chattanooga, Tennessee. And we are going back to the Smokey Mountains of North Carolina with three groups for our High Schoolers! *It is very important to point out that all of these trips will be 8 kids and two adults, which is under the legal group size for National Forrest. 

On LOWA, our  team is committed to eliminating all barriers.  We are raising scholarship funds to make our summer adventure trips available to outstanding Live Oak campers, no matter their backgrounds. This way they can all feel the self-confidence that comes from summiting a peak, exploring a cave, or sleeping under a starry sky.

This year Live Oak has handed out 24 scholarships. That totals just over $37,000.

We are looking to the community to help us raise that money so every family has the right to go on life changing adventures!
