This weekend, Sahale Outdoors — a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides outdoor opportunities for over 600 kids each year — was burglarized. But we refuse to lose our spirit.

Our van, cargo trailer, and over $15,000 worth of camping, mountaineering, and educational gear were stolen from our property, along with damage to our office and grounds.

This gear isn’t just stuff. It’s tents that sheltered first-time campers, sleeping bags that kept kids warm on their first backpacking trip, and teaching tools that helped students discover the natural world. Losing them means pausing programs that serve youth and families — especially those who rely on scholarships to experience the outdoors.

At Sahale Outdoors, we believe nature should be for everyone — not just those who can afford it. Through outdoor education classes, nature-based camps, and backpacking expeditions, we help youth build confidence, connection, and belonging in the outdoors.

Now, we’re asking for your help to rebuild what was lost and get our kids back outside. Every donation, big or small, goes directly toward replacing essential gear, repairing damage, and keeping our programs running safely.

🌲 Your gift helps restore hope, gear, and adventures for hundreds of local youth.

We’re heartbroken, but we know that with community behind us, Sahale Outdoors can rise again — stronger, safer, and more determined than ever to ensure that every child and family has the chance to belong in nature.

Donate today. Share our story. Help us rebuild what matters most — opportunity, belonging, and connection to the outdoors.
