The Lincoln Hills Cares Foundation, founded in 2016, has kept a sharp eye on the future while honoring the extraordinary past of the Lincoln Hills property and programs. From its inception, the Foundation has relied on donations, allowing us to proudly serve over 100,000 youth, young adults, and families to ensure that barriers to the outdoor experience and the many careers that will allow us to continue to enjoy the outdoors are irrevocably erased.
