We can’t begin to tell you how much this means to us.
Thank you so much for giving Jubilee Leadership Academy this opportunity to ski at Bluewood. We are a nonprofit organization for troubled teen boys. My husband and I lead the activities department. Our job consists of keeping the boys busy and creating relationships with them.
Last year we were given the opportunity to ski/snowboard at Bluewood, and it was truly an ice breaker for some kids who had been dealing with difficult seasons in their lives. Doing something fun and new with us opened up some great conversations and sparked relationships that will last a lifetime.
Our budget for activities is low and we would not have been able to go Bluewood again if it wasn’t for your generosity and support. We were able to bring eight boys. We had three skiers and five snowboarders.
The boys also enjoy the friendly staff at Bluewood. They are so great with them–patient and helpful. We can’t begin to tell you how much this means to us and the kids. They can’t wait to go again!

the boys of Jubilee Leadership Academy
