La Vida Giving Opportunities

How will financial gifts be used?

The La Vida Center for Outdoor Education offers six programs for school-aged children through adults. The programs work with a variety of individuals and groups from churches, schools, social service agencies, businesses and others. The programs include La Vida College Expeditions, Adirondack Summer Expeditions, Adventure Camp, Discovery, the Rock Gym and GORP.

Your gift may be used in one of the above programs or in one of these five areas:

• a scholarship fund that support students who could not afford to go on La Vida Expeditions.
• a scholarship fund that would support campers who could not afford to attend Adventure Camp
• a property development fund to ensure that the base camp in New York is well cared for.
• a building fund to construct a much needed indoor adventure facility at Gordon College which would house Adventure Camp, Discovery and GORP programs
• a general fund to support La Vida Center programs where most needed.

Gifts in the past have been used to

• purchase the 74 acre base camp for La Vida Expeditions near Lake Placid, NY
• pay for a new roof on the main building
• refurbish both the MA and NY challenge courses
• create a meeting and training room in Conrad Hall where the La Vida offices are now housed
• replace the worn-out equipment that keeps students warm and safe in the wilderness
