7. Target Audience: The target audience of the Partnership Outdoor Challenge is the entire military community in the Colorado Springs area (Fort Carson, Peterson Air Force Base, and the United States Air Force Academy). The three bases all have similar outdoor recreation programs. In the atmosphere of tightening budgets, the three programs have begun work to consolidate our programs to more effectively serve the military personnel. To kick off this new partnership, we have come up with a four day program emphasizing some of our high adventure activities. The participants in this program will be thirty soldiers, airmen, and cadets (ten from each base) chosen by their base commanders as exceptional among their peers.
Goal: 30
Actual: 30
8. Program Length: Four days
9. Number of Participants: 30
10. Date: Summer 1998
11. Activity Goal and Objectives:
GOAL: The goal of the Partnership Outdoor Challenge is it highlight the need for cooperation a month the three outdoor recreation programs while promoting our Summer high adventure activities.
OBJECTIVE 1: To provide the military personnel with a quality outdoor recreation program.
OBJECTIVE 2: To expose the military personnel to a physical and mental challenge in an outdoor setting.
OBJECTIVE 3: To have all three outdoor programs work together to plan and implement the Partnership Outdoor Challenge.
12. Location and Setting: The location and setting of the Partnership Outdoor Challenge will begin in Colorado Springs and then travel West to areas in and around the Arkansas River Valley. It starts at the Fort Carson Alpine Tower Complex, then travels to the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness Area, then through the proposed wilderness area of Brown’s Canyon along the Arkansas, through the Royal Gorge, and into the Pueblo State Recreation Area at the Pueblo Reservoir.
13. Highlights: The program begins with a day of team building high and low ropes elements at the Fort Carson Alpine Tower Complex. The next day the participants are taken to the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness Area for a twenty mile downhill mountain biking trip along the Cottonwood Trail to the town of Buena Vista. From there the participants board whitewater rafts for a twenty mile rafting trip through Brown’s Canyon. The participants are then shuttled to Hayden Creek Campground where camp will be set up and dinner waiting for them. Day three finds the participants again in rafts as they are challenged by the whitewater along the Parkdale and Royal Gorge sections of the Arkansas River. The participants will spend the night in Temple Canyon Park. The final day is a canoe trip down river twenty miles to the Pueblo State Recreation Area. Once at the Pueblo Reservoir, the participants will enjoy a cookout as well as an afternoon on pontoon boats fishing or water-skiing.
14. Specific Rules or Restrictions: N/A
15. Budget Summary: The program will generate no income because no fees will be collected. However, it will kick off the new partnership between the three bases with each base concentrating on specific programming areas (for example, Fort Carson will handle rock climbing and mountaineering for all three bases, Peterson AFB will handle the small game hunts for all the bases, AFA will handle whitewater rafting, etc, etc.) By concentrating our budgets on specific areas we will be able to provide a higher quality of service.
The expenses for the Partnership Outdoor Challenge will come in the form of transportation, food and salary for paid employees. Most of the staffing will be provided by volunteer guides form the Air Force Academy and Summer interns from the Fort Carson Outdoor Recreation Programs Office.

16. Support, Equipment, Supplies: The three bases have all the equipment for the program (mountain bikes, rafts, canoes, camping gear...) Each base would assume one-third of the cost for fuel, food and user fees for camping facilities.
17. Promotional Methods: The Partnership Outdoor Challenge will be promoted in all the weekly newspapers on the bases. Base commanders will inform the commanders under them to nominate soldiers, airmen, and cadets for spots on the program as a participant. Finally, the public relations office at Fort Carson would contact local media to cover the four day program with the focus being on the fact that the event kicks off a new partnership between the three bases.

7. Target Audience:
Goal: We wanted to target the surrounding areas such as Las Cruces/New Mexico, El Paso, Texas, portions of Colorado and portions of Arizona.
Actual: We have had riders from all four states. Our goal was obtained.
8. Program Length: The average length is four hours.
9. Number of Participants: The participants for 1997n numbered 226. This is almost double the amount from 1996.
10. Date: This event has been moved from the original month of March to February. This is due to the extremely unpredictable weather that we experience in March.
11. Activity Goal and Objectives: The major draw for the Tumbleweed 25 in the first year (1996) was the fact that because White Sands Missile Range is a closed post, many from the surrounding area had never been able to experience the unique terrain or the exotic wildlife. The range is home to numerous oryx which were transplanted here from Africa. We found that for 1997, the largest attraction became the challenging course. The course is set up for mountain bikes and can be very challenging event for even the most experienced bike rider.
12. Location and Setting: The location of the Tumbleweed 25 is the desert. White Sands Missile Range is located at the base of the Organ Mountains and offers riders the opportunity to experience some of the history of the area. The ridge is approximately 25 miles long and has an elevation gain of about 1300 feet.
13. Highlights: The Tumbleweed 25 course allows riders to pass by old ranches and mines. There is also the possibility of seeing deer, oryx and other desert wildlife.
14. Specific Rules or Restrictions: Although this is not a race, there are still Army regulations to adhere to:
a. Helmets must be worn.
b. No wearing of headphones while on the installation.

Expenses: Meal-$289, T-shirts-$650
Profit or Loss: $1261 profit
16. Support, Equipment, Supplies: Public Affairs made up the range arrangements, making sure that there were no missile firings or other testing going on. Water points were set up along the route and the course was marked. We use two trailing vehicles. One was to pick up bikes and repair flats and one to pick up bikers. There is also some form of medical support.
17. Promotional Methods: Radio, local television, local newspapers, and flyers at bike shops in both Texas and New Mexico are all used. We also use a mailing list of triathlon and duathalon participants as well as sending information to other installations and programmers.
18. Types of Media: See above.
19. Sponsorship Contributions or Efforts: Public Affairs was responsible for up range arrangements. Sandwiches were prepared by the Community Club.
20. DPCA or Outside Activity Integration or Partnerships: This event is usually handled by two staff members and approximately six volunteers. Staff members are responsible for the marketing, planning, and organization of the event. They are also responsible for recruiting volunteers. Staff is also responsible for making the route. Volunteers are used to man water points, drive trailing vehicles, help bikers with repairs, and help to keep all participants on the designated route.
21. Staff Requirements and Responsibilities: Many participants came not knowing anyone but once they came in contact with others, they had new friends. The camaraderie was felt by all who participated as well as those of us who organized the ride. Because it was not a race, everyone could ride at their own pace, setting personal goals and reaching those. Everyone seemed to have fun and many riders were repeat participants. Many friends were made and all had a good time.

7. Target Audience: Holding our first sportsman expo last year, we weren’t sure what the attendance would be, or who would participate in the event. We tried to target the sportsman, women, and children, as well as, outside vendors. The events of the day appealed to sports lovers of all ages. We held a fishing derby for children ages 1-15. The entire event was open to the public, free of charge. This year the vendors are being charged $20.00 and higher depending on space size required.
Goal: Was to attract over 1000 patrons, individuals of all ages, male and female.
Actual: Over 1000 people attended the event, despite the rain! We held the event outdoors at Barney’s Lake located on the depot. There was 200 children who signed up for the fishing contest.

Also in attendance were two national outdoor sporting television crews. They filmed a segment of the Expo to air on their show the following weekend.
10. Date: The event was held on 20 September 1997. This year it will be held for two days, 27-28 September 1997, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm, in our gymnasium. In conjunction with the expo we will be hosting an Antique Car and Truck Show.
11. Activity Goal and Objectives: To offer an event for the whole family to enjoy, as well as, promote a positive image for the depot and MWR. The events encouraged the children to participate and the parents watched on.
12. Location and Setting: The events took place at Barney’s Lake. This area is located in our recreation area. One particularly successful event was the fishing contest for children 15 years old and younger. The results of the contest were enhanced by stocking the lake two days before the Expo with 1,150 rainbow trout in various sizes. The archery competition took place on the softball field. Army tents were put up to cover all vendors, individuals were also placed under the recreation pavilions. A whole section/road was blocked off for vendors and events, in addition to the grass areas.
13. Highlights: Awards to contest winners in the archery and fishing contest were presented by Colonel Greg A. Virgil, Commanding Officer, and Chief, Community Recreation Division. In appreciation for the participation and support of the First Annual Sportsman Expo, vendors were presented with a certificate. CRD organized sporting contest with trophies and prices, motorcycle drills, food, raffles, refreshments, and free giveaways, seminars, demonstrations, wildlife rehabilitation, taxidermists, hunting guides, scuba diving demonstrations and vendors selling products, boat/motorcycle/jet ski displays for sale.
14. Specific Rules or Restrictions: Approval was needed from the depot Commander and our legal office prior to having vendors on base and selling raffle tickets. An official memorandum was typed and submitted for signature. A rifle, bow/arrow, and cash prizes were purchased for the raffle. I had to leave these items at a license gun dealer and have the winner pick them up, in order for a background check to be conducted. I worked with the safety office, security, and Environmental on all areas of potential concern.
15. Budget Summary:
Income: $1,600.00
Income Source: Raffles
Expenses: Trophies (made on the depot), Stocking of Lake (recycling funds), all demonstrations and seminars were sponsored by the vendor, raffle prizes, free giveaways.

Support, Equipment, Supplies: Support came from all of the above mentioned organizations, local vendors, sporting organizations, depot organizations, i.e. Directorate of Public works for electricity, tables, chairs, grounds keep. Military for setting up tents, public affairs, and individuals in MWR. Equipment needed were table/chairs/tents/electricity/public address system, prizes, trophies, giveaways (Frisbees, poster boards, can coolers, some of the items were donated or made on the depot. Signs had to be made with directions, arrows pointing, and the rules/regulations. Arrangements also had to be made for photographers.
17. Promotional Methods: To ensure awareness of the event and to extend an invitation to all, Community Recreation Division contacted television stations, produced eye-catching posters and flyers, spoke with local newspapers, and inserted updates in community brochures and calling sporting shops asking them if they wanted to participate. C/Comm Recreation attended sports expos and talked to vendors and visited sport shops. Programs were designed with vendors name and locations, time schedule of events.
18. Types of Media: Local newspapers, banners, digital bulletin boards, flyers, National and Local television sporting show, "Pennsylvania Outdoor Life", "Outdoors in Field and Stream", Event program "This week in the Pocono’s, Internet, word of mouth, phone calls, MWR News Letter, etc.

20. DPCA or Outside Activity Integration or Partnerships: MWR has developed outside activity integration with all outside individuals/vendors involved. We have developed a good rapport with these individuals, who are already supporting us for this years upcoming event. They donated their time and services to make the expo successful. We in turn let them come on post and promote their product/service to help improve their patronage. The Depot and the Community showed their full support of the Expo.
21. Staff Requirements and Responsibilities: All staff members were assigned to different even areas, family, friends and sports clubs volunteered to help. Each individual was responsible for an assigned area. For example, raffle, giveaways, information booth, directing traffic, running fishing contest, directing vendors and helping them set up, running the archery contest (an archery vendor volunteered to host/judge competition).
22. Behavioral Changes to Participants: A majority of the vendors that came in deal with the Army Base. Meeting the companies owners and staff has enhanced customer/buyer relationship. Both parties know who they are dealing with and get a receptive greeting. Additional vendors are getting the depots business now because of the expo, before we didn’t know what to expect from their product and after having hands on experience we know what we are buying.

Day before event put out directional signs at all entrance gates and major intersections (23 signs w/quad stands). (Two years ago Outdoor Recreation invested in having water proof arrows made and a variety of signs for various annual events. We also made square base stands with approximately, three feet wooden shaft in the middle to staple the signs and arrows to and two small holes in the base to drive stakes through. These supports are used for all major events and are portable so they can be placed at a variety of locations for directions and publicity. It was a great investment at a minimal cost.); Collect all pre-registration forms the day before event and fill out judging and record keeping charts; assure recreation/fishing area is clean and all working properly. Trash cans emptied into dumpster, pavilions swept out, electricity on at outlets, water on at faucet, military telephone working properly, etc..

Both youth and parents (sponsors) respond with thank you and on numerous occasions several have said that this is one of the best youth events they have participated int. Outdoor Recreation Staff and volunteers hand out literature on upcoming events and price sheets from our facility at the program. Often times we see many of the same faces at these events or when renting equipment. We surmise that when patrons are treated well and have fun at one event they tend to return for other activities.
