A Pathway to Hope that Heals

Sky’s the Limit Fund offers financial assistance to families of adolescents and young adults struggling with acute mental health conditions. We collaborate with families and our partner programs to make wilderness therapy, and therapeutic nature-based programs accessible and affordable, regardless of financial circumstances. We believe in the transformative power of the outdoors to foster connections, build resilience, and support mental health.

Outdoor Equity Pledge

Sky’s the Limit Fund is committed to providing equitable access to wilderness therapy and nature-based therapy programs for all adolescents and young adults regardless of financial or socioeconomic status and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex. We are dedicated to listening, learning, and aligning our actions with the voiced needs of our BIPOC youth and other marginalized groups. STLF pledges to provide outdoor equity for all.

Stories from the Journal: Life-Changing Impact

When we found out about Sky’s the Limit Fund, we saw it as such a blessing in one of the hardest times in our lives.

When we were first connected to STLF to share our story before receiving the financial assistance, we finally felt we had someone who really listened and understood us. Not many of our friends understood what we were going through, so when we talked with STLF, it was such a relief to speak with someone who got it right away.

We were in such a mental fog that we were so grateful they told us they would send us everything we needed and when to take action. It’s like they knew what we needed before we knew.

Sky’s the Limit Fund is offering two pilot programs for summer 2025 as a wilderness reboot for families. These four-day multi-family wilderness experiences will be free of charge and will offer families time to connect with each other and with other families who have experienced a similar path.

This program is for STLF alumni families whose child has transitioned out of a wilderness therapy program. Many of these families struggle to cover the cost of a treatment program and oftentimes, bring their child home immediately after, with little aftercare support. Paired with our coaching service, STLF will provide an opportunity for STLF’s alumni families to join together as a community, celebrate their gains, and receive in-person support for the common challenges they now face. The 1st pilot program took place at the end of July 2024, and it was an overwhelming success. We are planning a second pilot program in summer of 2025, and we will announce additional program details as they are developed.

This second program will be offered to veterans and their families. Sky’s the Limit Fund is partnering with Huts for Vets, a non-profit organization that provides wilderness and communal experiences as therapeutic healing for U.S. veterans. This experience will help returning service members to readjust to life at home through powerful outdoor activities, and reconnect with familiy members after long period of separation through deployment.

This program will be scheduled for summer 2025
