This year, due to the pandemic, our Wounded Military Heroes Weekend was canceled. For the past several years, we have had an amazing weekend of ski lessons for the families, free lodging, and a banquet honoring the veterans.
The work of the Bart Center has not stopped. We continue to offer one-on-one ski and snowboard lessons to our Veterans and other people with disabilities- so they can experience the thrill of winter sports.
We need your help to keep providing our programming to these brave men, women and their families. Please consider making a donation and sharing this great video of our 2020 event on Facebook.

Testimonials

Our thanks goes to all who organize the Bart Center’s activities. As a mother of a special needs child, I am always searching for activities that include my entire family yet be sensitive to the needs of my child with a disability. |
The Bart Center has an incredible vision and in our son’s case, is accomplishing such a beautiful thing as allowing a child to feel a sense of belonging in a nurturing and kind environment. |
