GECKO - Giving Every Child Knowledge of the Outdoors & Pagosa Peaks Volleyball Club
Giving Every Child Knowledge of the Outdoors (GECKO). The premise sounds simple enough. Yet study after study shows that our children aren't getting enough outdoor play. And this trend isn't improving. The latest information shows that less than 25% of children are active outdoors more than twice per week. Does this statistic worry you? Because it definitely worries us.
GECKO has raised almost $50,000 through events and donations over the last three years. This money funds outdoor programming for children through scholarships to the nation's leading outdoor education providers. Our goal is simple: To give EVERY child knowledge of the outdoors.
