Skip Day Isn’t About Skipping…It’s About Showing Up!

On a day when schools are closed, and many kids are left to figure out how to spend their time, something powerful happens at Sligo Creek Golf Course.

Instead of being home alone, on screens, or in spaces that don’t pour into them, nearly 40 young people and 20 volunteers show up to something different.

They show up to connection, mentorship, and possibility.

Skip Day, hosted by the Bison Impact Group, is a half-day youth enrichment experience designed for children ages 7–18 and their adult caregivers.

And at the heart of it all is what SKIP really stands for:

S.K.I.P. = Swing. Know. Inspire. Play.

Swing
We introduce youth to the game of golf (many for the very first time) through hands-on clinics in swinging, chipping, and putting. But it’s not just about the sport. It’s about building confidence, trying something new, and stepping into spaces they may have never imagined for themselves.

Know
We create space for young people to learn more than just the game. They gain knowledge about discipline, patience, and how to navigate environments where representation has historically been limited. They begin to see what’s possible for their future.

Inspire
Through mentorship, community, and shared experiences, our youth are surrounded by adults and peers who pour into them. And just as important, our teen volunteers step into leadership roles, inspiring the next generation while growing into who they’re becoming.

Play
Joy matters. Laughter matters. Time together matters. From riding golf carts to sharing a meal from the Squirrel Shack Grill, Skip Day is designed to be fun, freeing, and full of moments that kids (and adults) will remember.

Why Our Work Matters

Skip Day is more than an event. It’s a safe space rooted in exposure, prevention, and community.

At Bison Impact Group, we believe that when young people are seen, supported, and exposed to new possibilities, it can shift the trajectory of their lives.

And when caregivers are given intentional time to connect with their children, it strengthens families in ways that last far beyond a single day.

How You Can Help

Provide golf instruction, equipment, and course access
Cover meals and participation costs for families
Expand access to youth who may not otherwise have these opportunities
Continue building safe, empowering spaces for our community

Join Us In Making An Impact

This year’s Skip Day takes place on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, and we’re inviting sponsors and donors to help us bring this experience to life.

Because sometimes the most powerful thing a young person can do…isn’t skip the day.

It’s show up, learn, be inspired, and play.
