Idaho School for the Deaf and Blind

Higher Ground is proud to partner with the Idaho School for the Deaf and Blind (ISDB) to offer exciting and enriching programs such as Ski School Days and the ISDB Adventure Club. These programs are designed to provide students with unique and empowering experiences in a supportive, accessible environment, helping them connect with the beauty of outdoor recreation and develop new skills in a fun and inclusive setting.

The Ski School Days program allows participants to enjoy the thrill of skiing and snowboarding on some of the most scenic and renowned slopes in the country, all while benefiting from personalized instruction tailored to their individual needs. These lessons are designed to promote confidence, independence, and the joy of winter sports. Similarly, the ISDB Adventure Club offers a variety of outdoor activities, from hiking to team-building exercises, encouraging students to explore the stunning landscapes of the Wood River Valley and beyond, while fostering teamwork, personal growth, and self-reliance.

The Wood River Valley, located in central Idaho, is renowned for its picturesque landscapes, including the world-famous Sun Valley Resort, which is a hub for year-round outdoor activities. The area’s abundant natural beauty, including the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, provides the perfect backdrop for adventure and recreation, making it an ideal location for these impactful programs. Sun Valley, with its iconic mountains, rivers, and trails, is recognized not only for its world-class skiing but also for its welcoming community and emphasis on inclusivity in outdoor pursuits.

These programs are open to students who are registered at ISDB, ensuring that they have access to all the resources and support they need to thrive in these activities.
