Olympia Partner Programs
For Olympia based youth serving organizations, we can offer single or multiple series Mountain Workshops programs. Partner programs can chose indoor/outdoor climbing, first aid, outdoor cooking, navigation, and many other skills in the Olympia area. Additionally groups can learn to hike, snowshoe, and cross country ski out of the city.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
The Mountaineers Access Program (MAP) is a scholarship fund that subsidizes individuals or groups who otherwise would not be able to afford The Mountaineers programs. Group scholarships are available to partner programs participating in Mountain Workshop or borrowing group gear through the Gear Library. The Mountaineers typically awards scholarships of 30–70% of the program cost.
GROUP SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION
MAP is made possible by generous contributions from individuals, corporations and foundations, including the REI Foundation, Treeline Foundation and Bradley Foundation. We count on these donations from our members and partners to fulfill this very important part of our mission.
