Exciting equine– and nature-based programs, classes, workshops, and camps will be offered for all ages, abilities, and economic means through a new collaboration between Friends of Bear Creek Stables and Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (Midpen).

To open the gate to this diverse array of public programs, Friends must raise $250,000. This show of community support will help unlock $6 million from Midpen for infrastructure improvements. 

TIME IS RUNNING OUT —
We need YOUR to help to Reopen Bear Creek Stables!

Thanks to generous supporters like you, we’ve raised $161,000 of the $250,000 needed to secure a 12-year partnership with the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District. We need to raise an additional $89,000 in the next three weeks to cross the finish line.

Your gift — no matter the amount — will make a real difference, so please:

  • Make a personal donation today
  • Request a corporate match through your employer
  • Ask friends, family, and neighbors who share your passion for outdoor learning to do the same

Help us begin offering transformative programs

With your support, and an additional $6 million to be invested by Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District over the next five years, we’ll begin offering transformative programs in our first year, including:

  • Youth Science Initiatives
  • Senior Field Trips
  • Outdoor Classes for Bay Area Schools
  • Creative Spaces for Writers, Artists, and Photographers
  • Equine Therapy for Veterans and Cancer Survivors

Your donation today will provide access to nature-based learning for everyone — regardless of age, ability, or background!
