Bogus Basin Awards Scholarships To Area Schools, Expanding Access To Year – Round Recreation And Education
Bogus Basin announced today the awarding of $18,300 in scholarships to schools throughout the Treasure Valley. The scholarships will fund 22 class outings to the area during the 2023-24 winter season. A total of 1,074 kids, ranging from elementary to high school age, will participate in the outings. The recipients will enjoy the opportunity to participate in learn to ski programs at the non-profit recreation area.
“We believe that every child in the Treasure Valley should be able to experience the wonderful world of winter sports. Behind the scenes at Bogus Basin, we are working to remove barriers that prevent youth in our community from reaching this goal.” Susan Saad, Director, Community & Customer Relations
The students will participate in Life Sports and School Nights, two long-running Bogus Basin programs that focus on introducing youth to the basics of skiing and snowboarding. Last year alone, 5,555 students participated in these programs. Scholarship recipients, from throughout the Treasure Valley, were selected through a formal application process, ensuring that the support reaches those who stand to benefit the most. The scholarships can be applied toward the cost of school bus transportation, equipment rental, lift tickets, and/or a 90-minute group lesson.
This year, Union School, an innovative non-traditional school in Nampa, and Future Public School, located in Garden City, will be able to make inaugural class trips to the area. Bogus Basin is proud to engage with a diverse range of participants through its non-profit initiatives.
