Foundation Recipients 2009

The Deer Hill Foundation provides scholarships to Deer Hill participants who, without financial assistance, might otherwise never be able to participate in one of our programs.

In 2009, DHF offered full and partial scholarships that enabled over 30 high potential, low income, young people to be a part of our community. The contributions that these participants make to a Deer Hill program are immeasurable.

The Deer Hill Foundation often works with partner organizations to allow us to further our reach. DHF would like to thank Summer Search, Montana Yellowstone Expeditions Foundation and The DEEP Foundation for their unwavering and continued support.

Some words from our DHF participants:

“My service project with the Hopi was the greatest thing in the world. I will remember all of the people in Hopiland for just having open arms to me at all times.” Tiga, Southwest Journey

“I love Deer Hill. I will always remember the excitement of rafting and mountain biking and especially all of the team work.” Sabina, Southwest Journey

“I think that the entire expedition was meaningful because it gave me more confidence in myself and the feeling that I can achieve anything that I put my mind to.” Carolina, Heart of the Rockies

“My experience with Deer Hill has been full of surprises and struggles but each one memorable and extremely valuable to me. I will remember how everything I did was new and exciting or just completely out of my ordinary. I will cherish my personal growth and do my best to never let go of everything that I gained at Deer Hill.” Naya, Costa Rica
