How Your Support Makes a Difference

WHO WE ARE

For 26 years, Power To Be has stewarded exceptional experiences in nature. Our commitment? Access for all. Being in nature inspires people to see beyond their limits and gives them the courage to explore what’s possible. From hiking and kayaking to camping and snowshoeing, Power To Be makes it possible for youth, families and adults living with cognitive, physical, financial, and social barriers to benefit from the incredible natural environment that is all around us. Based in Victoria and Vancouver, BC, Power To Be is a provincial resource with national impact.

Lives have changed forever because of our work. Youth are becoming the leaders of tomorrow, families are more connected to the land and to each other, new Canadians feel at home in their unfamiliar environment, and lasting friendships have been built based on trust, respect, and inclusion.

By financially supporting Power To Be, you will be part of our mission to build community, remove barriers, and invite people to explore what’s possible.

Thank You To Our Generous Sponsors:

Power To Play launched in 2009 and became our signature event for over a decade, a vibrant celebration of community, adventure, and purpose. When the pandemic disrupted in-person gatherings, we responded with creativity and heart, launching Power To Summit in 2020. Since then, it has raised more than $1.8 million for inclusive, nature-based programs.

In 2026, we’re combining these two incredible experiences into one dynamic weekend: Two Paths, One Goal (May 29–31). Participants can choose:

Power To Play – A one-day adventure race on May 31 featuring 15 challenge stations and 5–10 km of running/walking.

Power To Summit – A three-day elevation challenge inspired by the climb to Mount Everest, where teams of four collectively aim to reach the summit through accumulated elevation.

Together, we aim to raise funds to support Power To Be’s accessible nature-based programs. Like Everest itself, which grows 4 millimeters every year, our mission keeps rising, and in 2026, we’re elevating the experience with Power To Play, bringing movement, joy, and inclusion to the heart of our fundraising.
