Story

Big News: Two Saunas Under One Roof!

This upgrade will allow us to better serve our Fall/Winter/Spring Outdoor Learning Program students and Summer Campers, providing even more opportunities for growth, community, and connection.

A huge shoutout to the community for donating to the project and the incredible volunteer crew of former staff who carefully salvaged wood from the old sauna for future projects. Your dedication ensures that Widji’s history continues to enrich our future.

Together, We've Raised $327,000—But We Need Your Help to Reach $500,000 by May 1st 2025!

We’re so close to our goal, and you can help us cross the finish line. Join us by fundraising or sponsoring through the Birkie Ski Race! Whether you’re racing or know someone who is, your participation can make a meaningful impact.
