For 40 years, the Texas Outdoor Education Association has gathered in the Frio River Canyon to enhance its mission.
Creating space for families from different backgrounds to be together in an unusual way.
Every veteran LLYC camper knows the experience that awaits them on the other side of that river drive. What’s more, they know it’s an experience meant just for them.
This border community has been bringing groups to the Canyon two or three times a year for 49 years running, driving dozens of kids in packed school buses 10 hours through the night.
We view giving as an essential part of transformation and renewal. When someone makes a contribution, we hope it is a thoughtful, prayerful, and joyful experience. Your gifts, without a doubt, help touch and change lives.
Our financial model relies primarily on our endowment as the source of our operating expenses, supplemented by program revenues from our three fee-based programs. The endowment has been growing since the Foundation’s inception in the early 1930s, with greater growth in recent years due to the ongoing generosity of the Butt family. These gifts, combined with support from donors and capital campaigns, enable our programs to grow and thrive.
