by Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center
Founded in 1976 in Breckenridge, Colorado, the Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center (BOEC) is one of North America's premier adaptive outdoor education centres. The organisation has grown from a small volunteer group into a nationally recognised programme with over 300 volunteers and a dedicated professional staff, enjoying an international reputation for excellence in adaptive instruction.
BOEC delivers one-on-one adaptive ski and snowboard lessons across four Colorado resorts — Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper Mountain, and Arapahoe Basin. Every lesson includes all equipment (mono-skis, bi-skis, outriggers), a lift ticket, and PSIA-certified instruction. Beyond winter, BOEC offers year-round adaptive programming including whitewater rafting, rock climbing, and multi-day wilderness courses. Over $250,000 in annual scholarships ensures cost is never a barrier to participation.
BOEC serves children and adults with physical, cognitive, and developmental disabilities including spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, autism, and visual impairments. Veterans and active-duty service members are also welcomed through dedicated programming.
