The Rut Fundraiser for Montana Wilderness School
This September, 5 runners are racing in The Rut Mountain Runs and raising money for Montana Wilderness School’s youth program and scholarship fund. Help us reach our goal of $5,000 which will provide 5 students with 5 full days in the backcountry.

The Rut Fundraiser for Montana Wilderness School
Since our inception, MWS has never turned away a Montana student needing financial help to enroll in our program. Please help us continue this vital, life-changing tradition by making a pledge per training mile or making a one-time donation.
By donating, you not only show your support for our runners, but you also support MWS. Thank you for helping us provide under-represented and under-resourced youth with empowering expeditionary experiences in Montana.

Your Impact
"Thanks so much! Without financial aid scholarship this trip wouldn't have been affordable for me and my family. But here I am and I have been able to have one of the best experiences. I've learned and gained a list of perspectives and skills being here. Surrounded by all these amazing people. So thanks, truly!" -Mountaineering Expedition 2021 Student

Mission & Vision
Our mission is to provide empowering expeditionary wilderness courses to youth that foster personal growth and cultivate a conservation ethic through connecting with remote landscapes and wild places.
Our vision is to develop the highest quality expeditionary outdoor education program in the United States. We strive to serve diverse and motivated youth in communities throughout Montana. Through challenging and empowering experiences on our courses, youth will develop a deeper connection to the natural world, and will return to their communities as more skilled, confident, and compassionate leaders.
