Coombs Outdoors

Jackson Hole is known for its natural beauty and world-class outdoor sports. However, there is a large population of children of low-income families who do not have access to the same opportunities as their peers. In an effort to create a healthy community where all our children thrive, Coombs Outdoors provides year-round outdoor programming for youth from Kindergarten through high school graduation.  Our programs grow as the needs of our kids grow, beginning with basic instructional programs that introduce kids to a variety of activities that will hopefully spark a passion for the outdoors, then adding a cohort-based mentoring component in middle school to help our youth build deep relationships with their peers and trusted adults, and finally, training our high school youth to serve as mentors and coaches to our younger kids, explore careers and college, and become passionate outdoor enthusiasts. At every stage, outdoors remains at the center of our work, whether a hike with a Forest Ranger, a ropes course with a mentoring cohort, or an internship working at our local ski hill. Our goal is not to create world-class skiers or rock climbers, but to develop world-class people rea.
