About Evergreen Special Adventure Club
Evergreen Special Adventure Club (ESAC) is a non-profit organization that was formed in 2019. While on a hike in their home-town of Evergreen, Colorado, co-founders Maren Schrieber and Martha Lynch-Biasi discussed their desire to bring outdoor adventure to those with intellectual disabilities. They wanted others to have the opportunity to feel the exhilaration of being in the outdoors and the satisfaction of reaching a mountain peak. This was the birth of the new non-profit.
