Steamboat Springs Middle School students soon will have access to outdoor recreation equipment to last a decade, thanks to a $10,000 grant from Impact 100. Everything Outdoor Steamboat was the top recipient of funds from Impact 100’s third grant cycle. EOS, which provides non-motorized outdoor education and recreation experiences at no charge to students, plans to fulfill a “dire need” for equipment, said Everything Outdoor Steamboat director and middle school science teacher Matt Tredway. “It’s just equipment that is necessary to make sure these kids have a good time,” Tredway said. The club will buy new harnesses and rope for rock climbing, sub-zero sleeping bags and tents for camping, and additional gear for all seasons, he said. The grant pushes the club well beyond its typical budget, the majority of which comes from the middle school’s annual tree sale. “This thing is so huge, because we’ve always been selffunded,” Tredway said.
