Turtle Ridge Foundation Grants Empower Life-Changing Programs for Youth, Including Copper Cannon Camp

At the Turtle Ridge Foundation (TRF), we’re passionate about creating opportunities that change lives—especially for youth and the adaptive community. Thanks to the generous support of our donors and participants at events like Bode Bash and Bode Fest, we’re able to offer grants to numerous organizations that provide unique and powerful experiences for young people in need. Copper Cannon Camp is one of several incredible organizations TRF is proud to support, providing free summer camps for underserved kids in New Hampshire, allowing them to build confidence, friendships, and memories that last a lifetime.

From Shoes to Sports Courts, Your Donations are Making a Difference

In 2009, Copper Cannon received a meaningful donation from Bode Miller and the Turtle Ridge Foundation: brand-new Nike shoes for the campers. For kids from underserved communities, appropriate shoes are often out of reach, yet essential for comfort, safety, and participation in activities. A quality pair of athletic shoes not only helps kids take part in sports but also provides reliable footwear for everyday wear, supporting their health and self-esteem. This gift has become a tradition in TRF’s commitment to supporting Copper Cannon, and we’re proud to continue assisting their mission through ongoing donations and sponsorships to their annual auction. When Copper Cannon neared the finish line in completing their covered sport court, TRF stepped up with a major gift to help complete the project—creating a new space where kids can play, stay active, and connect.

Creating Transformative Experiences Though Copper Cannon Camp

Through our grants, Turtle Ridge Foundation helps sustain Copper Cannon’s year-round programs, including their traditional summer camps, teen leadership retreats, and the Grandparents Camp over Labor Day Weekend for grandparents raising their grandchildren. Each grant we provide ensures that kids, regardless of their financial or family situation, can enjoy these transformative experiences.

Partnerships that Empower!

Our partnership with Copper Cannon reflects TRF’s broader mission to support organizations that empower youth and the adaptive community. Every contribution made to Turtle Ridge Foundation, whether through a donation or an event ticket, allows us to expand our impact and invest in more programs that make a real difference. Together, we’re helping dreams come true—one grant, one child, one life-changing experience at a time.
