Welcome to Winter Oddity Where the Slopes Are Fresh, and the Stories Are Even Better
Step into a winter adventure like no other with Winter Oddity, where every run down the hill is a chance to create your story—and maybe a memory or two involving a well-timed tumble and a lot of laughter. Whether you’re brand new to snow sports, looking to sharpen your turns, or just in it for the chili, this is your moment.
At Winter Oddity, it’s not just about the snow—it’s about the experience. The connections. The warm mittens. The moments you’ll be laughing about long after the snow melts.
What to Expect:
Custom Terrain Park Features: Fun boxes, rail slides, and a quarter pipe ride wall, all designed for every skill level. Whether you’re easing into your first carve or seasoned snow alumni, there’s something here for everyone.
Beginner Foundations Clinics: Never been on skis or a snowboard? Perfect. Our Adventure Guides will walk (or glide) you through every step, from strapping in to celebrating your first successful run!
Loaner Outerwear Gear Locker: Gear Up, Adventure On Forgot your snowpants? Need a jacket? No mittens in sight? Don’t sweat it (literally). Our Loaner Outerwear Gear Lockeris stocked with everything you need to stay warm, dry, and ready for adventure. Snowpants, jackets, gloves, mittens—you name it, we’ve got it.
This isn’t just a convenience; it’s the heart of what makes Winter Oddity so special. It’s about breaking down barriers to winter sports and making sure everyone—regardless of their gear situation—can enjoy the magic of the slopes. The right clothing can make all the difference, and we’re here to make sure nobody has to miss out because they didn’t have the right layers.
The Loaner Outerwear Gear Locker is a capstone feature of our program, underscoring our commitment to growing winter sports, accessibility, and inclusivity. We believe the outdoors belongs to everyone, and that starts with ensuring every participant has access to the proper gear and clothing to fully enjoy the experience.
So whether you’re new to snow sports or just left your mittens at home, we’ve got you covered—literally. It’s one more way Winter Oddity is making the slopes open, welcoming, and downright fun for all. Suit up. Step out. And let the adventure begin.
Ski & Snowboard Package Included: Snowboards, bindings, boots, skis—it’s all here. Just bring your spirit of adventure (and maybe some thick socks).
Mt. Crescent Lift Access: Full access to the lifts during your session—because walking uphill in snow boots isn’t the adventure we had in mind.

Adventure-Based Skills Clinics & Demo Days
At Camp Outpost Inc., we’ve got adventure dialed in year-round—no off-season here.
Our motto? Keep it fresh, keep it challenging, and make sure everyone can join the fun.
Our adventure-based, goal-driven clinics shift with the seasons, giving you a whole new way to push your limits and grow. Summer? We’re all about sailing, kayaking, and paddleboarding—basically, if it floats, we’re on it. When fall rolls in, we hit the trails for hiking games, archery, camping, slacklining, and swapping stories around a campfire. Then winter arrives, and we’re strapping into snowboards, cross-country skis, or snowshoes, ready to conquer the cold like it’s no big deal.
We’re not just running outdoor events—we’re crafting experiences that build skills, boost confidence, and leave you with stories worth telling. And our adaptive programs? They’re designed so everyone, no matter where they’re starting from, gets their shot at adventure.
To us, outdoor recreation isn’t just fun—it’s essential. It’s a community-building, wall-breaking, soul-refreshing way to make sure everyone finds their place outside. So whatever the season, whatever your skill level, we’re here to make the outdoors open to all.
Open to everyone, with a special focus on underrepresented communities in the outdoor industry. Adaptive programming available because no one gets left out of the adventure.

Women & Girls Group Skate Empowerment Sessions
Welcome to the Women & Girls Empowerment Skate Clinic, where resilience rolls in on four wheels.
Here, it’s not just about skating—it’s about creating a space where women and girls can freely find their flow, discover their voice, and build the kind of grit that handles wipeouts with grace and gets back up, ready for the next ride. Sure, we’re learning to skate, but we’re also learning to fall, cheer each other on, and grow stronger together.Mentorship and leadership just naturally happen here, like a well-timed high-five, sparking the next generation of confident skaters who lift each other up. After we’ve skated the day away, we gather for a laid-back potluck grill-out, because this is about more than just the sport—it’s about community, breaking down barriers, and finding your people, one session at a time.
Open to everyone, but especially for women and girls ages 8-90. We’ve got adaptive programming too, because no one gets left out of this skate party.

Nature-Based Artisan Workshops
At Camp Outpost Inc., we believe everyone deserves a little outdoor magic—and sometimes that magic comes with a side of craftsmanship.
Our nature-inspired artisan workshops, like “Art of Leathercraft” and “Wildflower Candle-Making,” blend hands-on creativity with outdoor education, sparking curiosity and forging deeper connections to nature. Whether you’re stitching up a custom camp throw or crafting a candle that smells like a meadow in bloom, it’s all about learning something new while soaking in the outdoors.
The best part? We bring these experiences to you. From local parks to skilled nursing facilities and even tucked-away venues in rural Nebraska, we’re making sure everyone gets a taste of nature—wherever they are.
Through thoughtful outreach and adaptable programming, we’re opening doors for people who might not usually have access to outdoor spaces. By working closely with communities, we’re making sure our efforts reflect what they need, creating experiences that are meaningful, inclusive, and totally unique.
Open to everyone, especially those from marginalized communities in the outdoor industry and individuals with disabilities. Because the outdoors—and a bit of creative flair—should be for everyone.

Social Lodging Camp Experience
Welcome to Camp Outpost’s Social Lodging Camp Experience—where everyone’s invited, and there’s always room around the campfire.
Just 3 miles from Two Rivers State Park, this isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a community. We’re here to break down the barriers that keep people from feeling at home in the outdoors, creating a space where everyone can connect, explore, and belong.
Our canvas tents come with 360-degree stargazing windows (because who wouldn’t want to fall asleep under the stars?) and a private deck and kitchenette overlooking a shared common area. That common space? It’s the heart of the camp—where stories are swapped, friendships are forged, and marshmallows never burn too badly.
We’ve got everything you need to make the outdoors feel accessible and welcoming—fishing gear, art supplies, outdoor education materials, and more. You bring yourself, and we’ll take care of the rest. And if you’re up for it, we offer free kayaking sessions.
This experience is open to everyone, especially those from underrepresented populations in the outdoor industry. We’ve designed our spaces to be adaptive and welcoming—because the outdoors should feel like home for everyone.

roll call:
after-school girls skateboard program
The spirit of Roll Call is rooted in community. It’s about more than wheels hitting the pavement—it’s a collective breath, a shared experience of discovery, where every push forward is a step toward confidence. In this space, girls get to own their adventure. They roll into it, side by side, in a safe and encouraging environment. A space where every every success is met with a high-five.
By offering a space for girls to skate together, you’re creating more than just a skate session—you’re building an inclusive community of adventurers, dreamers, and daredevils. This is where they discover that they don’t need to fit into a mold; they can carve out their own paths, literally and figuratively.
Adventure-based programs like Roll Call go beyond physical skills. We teach adaptability, resilience, and creativity—skills that will stay with these girls long after the wheels stop spinning. And when you bring together an all-girls group, something even more magical happens. There’s a sense of camaraderie, a shared understanding that everyone is there to lift each other up—sometimes quite literally. The bonds they form while learning to carve, stop, and glide will carry them through this adventure and into countless others.
So, here we are, with a crew ready to share the Roll Call experience with your school. Our mission? To show up with enthusiasm, energy, and an unshakable belief in the power of skating to change lives. We’re not just teaching girls to skate—we’re handing them the tools to navigate the adventure of life itself.

By sharing your insights, you're contributing to our efforts to increase participation in outdoor recreation activities and create a more inclusive and diverse outdoor community. Your feedback will directly shape our programming, measure our success, and guide us in making informed decisions. We value your input in our journey towards continuous improvement and accountability.
“Hello!
I am the Community Events Coordinator at Outlook Enrichment, a local non-profit serving people who are blind and low vision. I am always looking for new ways to expose visually impaired adventure seekers to new opportunities. No matter the season, people need a break from the norm and a breath of fresh air. I was stoked to learn about all the outdoor opportunities that Camp Outpost was offering this year. They have the toys, time and talent to open up some new doors for us.
When you put on an event for participants with vision loss it requires extra adaptations, the accommodation of extra volunteer guides, accessible communication and help with transportation since most visually impaired folks don’t drive. Most importantly, we need to work with people who can think outside of the box and exude an aura of confidence about our participants capabilities. We get all of this an more with Camp Outpost and we can feel the love!
We kicked off the year with plans of downhill snow skiing. The ladies of Camp Outpost hit the slopes with some of our visually impaired folks to practice techniques of being a sighted guide. They tried out helmets with 2-way radios built in to give blind skiers a feeling of independence while also providing directional cues to avoid obstacles.
Our group has skied for years, but Camp Outpost offered the option of adding snow boarding and snow shoeing, which would have been new to us if mother nature had only provided some snow. Not only did Camp Outpost adapt to our vision loss, they quickly adapted to the weather challenges. Snow shoeing turned into hiking and archery. The archery target was cleverly laced up with balloons allowing us to hear a pop when the arrow hit the target. Tactile touches were also added to the interactive lunch of kebabs with finger guards for chopping ingredients and talking thermometers for testing meat on the grill.
Despite the lack of snow, Camp Outpost brought out the snowboards. Our facility became a gathering of aspiring snowboarders as people 10-years-old to 60-years-old mounted Camp Outpost’s snowboard simulators. Equipment was also thoughtfully labeled with Braille.
This was such a great time that we asked Camp Outpost to join us, Outlook Enrichment, at a booth for a state convention put on by Nebraska’s division of The American Council of the Blind. No one brought an interactive experience quite like this at any of the other booths. It was an honor to have Camp Outpost stand alongside us. They really feel like an extended part of our team.
It is now mid-summer and we are on the calendar for a sailing, paddle board and kayak clinic and a horseback riding escapade. Camp Outpost has offered to help with transportation so we can venture outside public transportation areas in Omaha to visit a horse ranch.
It’s also important to acknowledge that our participants don’t always have access to these type of outdoor activities because of their limited vision, but another huge barrier is the cost. It can be a struggle for the blind community to find gainful employment and many find themselves budgeting on social security alone. For these reasons Outlook Enrichment cover’s a majority of the cost for our events, but we are on a pretty tight budget as well. Camp Outpost offers extraordinary outdoor adventures for reasonable a cost.
I am also legally blind myself and use the bus for transportation. It can be a real nightmare for me to drag along food in coolers and sporting equipment. It’s so nice to just show up and know that Camp Outpost has everything ready. From freshly grilled food to the agenda for the day, everything is taken care of. I can concentrate on checking people in, conversating with participants and volunteers, taking pictures and maybe even participating in activities myself. It’s so nice to have a team you can lean on and trust.
Instead of racking my brain for new ideas, I now am sitting back and imagining all the fun we will get to have in future years with Camp Outpost. New ideas are always flowing such as wake boarding, glamping and the possibility of organizing an overnight camp for blind and low vision youth like we’ve always dreamed of.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for believing that everyone is entitled to experience outdoor adventure. In a world that’s not always set up to include those with disabilities, you’re helping to pave the way!”
