Inspiring Connections Outdoors (ICO for short) was established by the Sierra Club in 1976. Its purpose is to provide safe and fun wilderness trips to those with limited access to the outdoors, especially youth. Today there are 49 ICO groups nationwide that serve approximately 14,000 mostly youth participants each year.
Las Vegas ICO was established in 2012 and conducts day trips that include hiking, exploration, rafting, star gazing, campfire programs and service trips. During this past year, Las Vegas ICO conducted 39 outings that served 397 youth. Our program not only gets youth active outdoors, it promotes interpersonal skills and self-esteem by involving youth in teamwork, teaching them how to be self-reliant outside the urban setting and encouraging them to take an active role in protecting the environment.
