The Denver Area Youth Collaborative (DAYC) is a "resource for youth serving outdoor sports and recreation service organizations by providing networking opportunities, establishing best practices and building relationships that enrich other organizations missions."
In attendance were an array of Denver area youth organizations, including:
- Trips for Kids
- Wonderful Outdoor World (WOW)
- Bluff Lake Nature Center
- Colorado Mountain Club's Youth Education Program
- EduColorado Adventure School
- Avid4Adventure
- Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado
- Meet the Wilderness
- Climbing for Life
- Colorado Division of Wildlife
- Inner City Outings (ICO)
- Big City Mountaineering
- CityWild
- Denver Parks and Recreation
- SOS Outreach
The expo was a success in both creating awareness of other organizations and providing opportunities for partnership and collaboration. As a representative of the Center is was great to see the level of Leave No Trace education already being incorporated into outdoor programs for kids, as well as the interest in providing more content.
The evening concluded with a presentation by DPS middle school teacher, Mike Haugan, sharing his Coleman-sponsored expedition on Mt. Everest.
