Chiloquin Visions in Progress (CVIP) announced that it has received a $5,000 grant from the Cycle Oregon Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation. This grant will support Bike Skills Week, a key component of CVIP’s new Chiloquin Teen Adventure Camp (CTAC), scheduled to launch in the summer of 2025.

The Chiloquin Teen Adventure Camp is a youth-focused summer program designed to provide local teens with opportunities to learn, grow, and explore the outdoors. Bike Skills Week will teach essential cycling safety and techniques, promote physical activity, and build confidence, all while connecting participants to the natural beauty of the Chiloquin area.

“We are incredibly grateful to the Cycle Oregon Fund for supporting this important new program,” said Robert Cowie, executive director of CVIP. “Bike Skills Week will introduce local youth to cycling as a lifelong activity while encouraging teamwork, outdoor adventure, and healthy habits.”

The $5,000 award from the Cycle Oregon Fund brings CVIP closer to its fundraising goal of making the Chiloquin Teen Adventure Camp a reality. CVIP remains committed to fostering opportunities for youth in Chiloquin and looks forward to launching the Chiloquin Teen Adventure Camp in 2025.
