Because of our investments in advocacy, education, and youth programs, in 2016, the Mazamas were regularly being invited to sit at the table with leaders to discuss important issues affecting our state and our region. What is happening now, and what’s truly exciting, is that the Mazamas are being asked to be at the head of the table, to lead our state and our region on issues core to our mission and issues that are of high interest to our members.“ —Steve Hooker, Mazama President

The Leading Edge illiam Steel founded the Mazamas in 1894, and in that time the Mazamas were the leading outdoor recreation and conservation organization for the entire Northwest. Today, the Mazamas are at the leading edge of exciting changes and progress in each area of our work.

W

From climbing and outdoor education, to preserving our history and leading on advocacy, and even in innovative youth programs, we are providing programs and services that our community values, and our community supports. We are being recognized locally, regionally and nationally, as leaders and as key partners for many other nonprofit groups, outdoor companies, and land management agencies.

The Mazamas are at the leading edge of climbing education in North America. In 2016 the Mazamas partnered with mountain clubs across the country to work towards creating standards for climbing education in America that are aligned with international volunteer standards

(UIAA). This work improves our programs and ensures that we will be a trusted source for climbing education into the future.

The Mazamas are at the leading edge of advocating for responsible outdoor recreation, outdoor education, and promoting conservation values in our state and region. In 2016, the Mazamas worked with nonprofit and industry partners to pass federal legislation which measures the size and importance of the recreation economy in our country. We also worked with the US Forest Service to help lift a 25+ year moratorium on guiding permits, and helped to support the incredibly successful state ballot initiative to fund outdoor school for all.

The Mazamas are at the leading edge of preserving our history and telling the stories of mountaineering and mountain culture in the Northwest. In 2016, Jeff Thomas and Adam Baylor completed work on a film about the history of climbing at Beacon Rock in the Gorge, called Beacon Rock: Then and Now. And to the delight of hundreds, Mathew Brock hosted several exhibitions of lantern slide photography from our remarkable Edward Curtis collection.

And the Mazamas are at the leading edge of youth outdoor education programs for our community. The highly successful Mazama Mountain Science School is the only snow-based outdoor school program in our state. Designed

to provide learning experiences to 5th graders on Mt. Hood, this program is poised to influence and help expand the capacity of all of our state providers of outdoor school by allowing them to operate through the snowy winter.

The Mazamas is at the leading edge because of you. Because of your ongoing support, your donations of volunteer time and money, your dedication to our mission and to representing the Mazamas so well across our community I’m sure we’ll be leading for years to come.

Looking Ahead A

The Mazama Board of Directors designed a 3-year strategic plan to meet these challenges, and a series of projects were identified to provide clear priorities and a solid direction for the Mazamas. These include: creating new programs and updating current programs, overhauling the way people engage with the Mazamas online,

leading on policy that affects our mountain environment, all while protecting our history, and the history of the mountains.

In 2016 we made great progress behind the scenes on these projects, and are setting the stage for the launch of new systems and programs in 2017 and 2018.

2016 Actions uu

s the excitement to get outside grows, the Mazamas are facing a great challenge to meet the demands of this growing community to learn to recreate safely in the outdoors. In addition, our outdoor spaces are facing new threats, from climate change to legislative changes, and the Mazamas are committed to protecting our mountain environment and access to outdoor recreation.

Advocacy campaign & project work in 2016

Advocating for our values and stewarding our favorite places.

A Leading Voice limbing is growing exponentially, and for climbers, land managers, and recreational providers, this means more opportunities to make our outdoor places inclusive and create the next generation of stewards.

C

It also means more challenges for managing impacts, educating user groups, and providing access while protecting our natural resources. In 2016 we engaged in state, regional, and national level advocacy work to promote our values, and continue our protection of the outdoors through direct stewardship activities.

In the fall, the Mazamas and the Access Fund hosted the Northwest Sustainable Climbing Conference that brought together climbers, land managers, advocates, and nonprofit leaders to discuss how we can better manage and care for our climbing areas in the years ahead. The conference included presentations

by the directors of both Oregon and Washington state parks, the United States Forest Service, Alan Watts, and a several regional climbing coalitions.

And at the Mazamas, we know that when people, and children in particular spend time recreating outside it improves their mental and physical health, their engagement with their community, their interest in lifelong learning and education, and helps them develop conservation values.

In support of these principles the Mazamas also strongly supported the Outdoor School for All Campaign in 2016. With

34 of 36 counties in Oregon, and more than two thirds of voters in support, the campaign was a huge success and will help to ensure that outdoor education is a component of school for all 5th or 6th graders in Oregon.

Our stewardship work at climbing areas and on trails continued in 2016, including several trails, park, and climbing area projects in the Columbia Gorge, and at Smith Rock State Park. We also signed a formal partnership agreement with Yosemite National Park which recognizes our annual stewardship trips to the park, and makes Mazamas a formal partner with the National Park Service.

uu

Outdoor Alliance: Joined

together with seven other leading outdoor recreation groups from across the United States to advocate for the protection of public lands and the human-powered recreation experiences we all enjoy.

uu

Beacon Rock State Park:

Finalized the new Technical Rock Climbing Management Plan which balances access and habitat protection for future generations. uu

Madrone Wall: Supported the effort to open Madrone Wall in fall 2017 through trail work parties and advocacy efforts.

uu

Public Lands Heist: Opposed efforts in Oregon and other Western States to pass legislation to transfer federal lands to states and private companies.

uu

Outdoor Recreation Legislation: Worked with members

of Congress to draft legislation that promotes responsible access to public lands—“Recreation Not Red Tape Act 2016.”

uu

Sustainable Climbing Conference: Together with the

Access Fund and Oregon State Parks, we hosted the first sustainable climbing conference in Portland, bringing together outdoor recreation leaders, conservationists, and land managers.

Education & Activities M

ountain summits. Crampons crunching in hard snow. Watching sunsets from an open tent door.

Camaraderie with friends—new and old.

These are the moments that the Mazamas create for numerous individuals. By operating one of the largest centralized mountaineering training programs in the country, in addition to one of the most active outdoor programs in the country, we help people experience the outdoors.

New education programs in 2016 included: Canyoneering, Crag Leader/Top Rope Leader developed by the Mazama Families Committee, and Hike Leader Training designed by the Trail Trips Committee.

Mazamas put their training and leadership skills to good use in a variety of activity programs, with more than 10,000 participants on climbs, hikes, and outings.

The Mazamas biggest challenge is that our education programs and activities continue to be oversubscribed—a good problem to have!—with many opportunities filling in one day. We are actively exploring a variety of options to tackle this problem, and look forward to some new programming in upcoming years.

Youth Programs

his year marked a full effort to grow our Youth Programming and influence future climbers and conservationists. We began building upon our outreach work in 2015 to increase the scope of our programs with the support of the Youth Outreach Committee, Gray Family Foundation, generous donations from the Portland Alpine Festival and other committed youth volunteers.

One of our most exciting programs is the Mazama Mountain Science School (MMSS). Once again, we worked with school partners and the Gray Family Foundation to provide subsidized and accessible Outdoor School to 4th and 5th graders. We are thrilled to announce that we entered into partnership with the entire Centennial School District to bring their entire cohort of 5th grade students to the mountain in winter 2017!

Our summers have also become youth-focused and

Our Partners

we ran another successful season of Adventure WILD Summer Day Camp. More than 100 4–10 year olds joined us at the MMC for science, play, and rock climbing (belayed by our own Mazama volunteers!).

Our last two sessions of camp were treated to field trips to our Mazama Lodge for outdoor activities at elevation.

We continued to build valued partnerships with local youth-serving organizations.

In 2016 we began a monthly Climb Camp with Friends of the Children, providing

climbing education to under-served youth and their mentors and connecting the Mazama community with this great program. We also served female empowerment organizations like Betties 360, leveraging the amazing women climbers we have to provide climbing mentorship. We also partnered with Northwest Outward Bound to provide climbing facilities to their urban programming, and appreciated their material support in outdoor gear for our winter Mazama Mountain Science School.

Financial Information iscal Year 2016 was a good year financially for the Mazamas. Most notably philanthropic revenues from individuals, grants, and corporate support continue to grow annually, reaching $320,00 in 2016. Membership dues remain strong, but are a smaller portion of our revenue each year as program and fundraising revenues continue to grow. We also received a grant from the Mazamas Foundation of temporarily restricted funds for our work on Conservation, Research, Expeditions, and the IT Project. Expenses were managed to budget and we ended the year in a stronger financial position than the year before.
