Support the Mazama Mission: Inspiring Everyone to Love and Protect the Mountains
As we look toward 2021, we are excited that we have the chance to offer our classes and activities while keeping volunteers and students safe and making our programming more accessible to everyone who loves the mountains. Each and every one of these opportunities, from hikes and climbs to virtual classes and leadership training, is supported by gifts from our generous donors.
Supporting Mazamas with a donation today will continue to allow us to provide these experiences and activities that we all love, that feed our souls in these challenging times. Donate today for the future of the Mazama community, in 2021 and for years to come.
