Ramps And Alleys Clubhouse

WELCOME TO THE CLUBHOUSE! 

Let's get rolling into 2026 and make it the best year 

We are proud to announce that the Ramps and Alleys Clubhouse will be going into its 6th year of operation as a free to low-cost space for youth to skate, spend time with friends and be creative. 

Our goal of $2,000 will help fund our 2026 Haunted Clubhouse!

For Halloween 2025 we tried something new. We hosted a Haunted Clubhouse as a fundraiser for operating costs. Not only did the event exceed our expectations it proved to be a great activity for the community. 

We had nearly 500 attendees and raised almost $6,000! We did, however, have to spend a chunk of change on props, costumes, building supplies, concessions, etc. so not all of that was profit. 

For this years Colorado Gives Campaign, funds raised for the Haunted Clubhouse will only help us raise even more the club.

Your donation will help make the 2026 Haunted House even better.  We will be purchasing more sound equipment, lighting and building materials. Plus, we will keep the dollars local as much as possible. We will also run the event for two weekends in 2026 to give even more opportunity for those to attend. And it's a great event for teenagers which is a major bonus as most Halloween activities are geared towards younger kids or adults.

Bringing Community Together: 

We had 40 volunteers help bring this event to life and 25 of those were youth ranging from ages 8-18. Salida High School theater students were also involved and had the creative freedom to make their skits all their own. Many of the youth involved told us they hadn't had this much in a long time. Just another reason we wanna keep the event going for years to come. The local newspaper captured us on the front page to highlight the success of the event. Local law enforcement even stopped by to say hi and check out the action. All of the community feedback we got was so positive and fun and people are already looking forward to 2026. 

Please help support the passion behind our new latest and greatest fundraiser. With your contribution, we see the potential to raise over half our annual operating costs with this fundraiser.

Who we are:

The Ramps and Alleys Clubhouse is designed to provide a safe, fun, hang out for the youth of Chaffee County. Our mission is to provide educational and recreational activities while promoting healthy lifestyles and building positive relationships.

The Ramps and Alleys Clubhouse offers a commons area and community space for people of all ages to hang out, paint, play games, and meet new friends. The Clubhouse also offers an indoor mini skate area and an outdoor skate ramp with a full size run of equipment for those who don't have their own.

Birthday parties! 

Little Shredders!

Teen Night! 

What we do:

The #1 rule of the club is to “Be Excellent to Each other”. Clubhouse volunteers have been pleasantly surprised to find users of the space upholding this rule and teaching it to others. Users also find it easy to uphold the rule that designates the space as “screen-free”. Clubhouse kids find it easy to stay busy and engaged with each other and with physical challenges that come from skating.

The Ramps and Alleys Clubhouse has partnered with local programs such as the Boys and Girls Club of Chaffee County, GARNA, the Alliance, Alpine Achievers, and the Family and Youth Initiatives to offer roller skating and skateboarding opportunities. 

Programming and activities at the Clubhouse are intended to be free of charge or very little cost for special programs. This is only possible through donations, grants, fundraisers, and community support.

Youth ownership:

The kids that inspired the Clubhouse initially were excited to be involved in its creation. Director, Stacy Falk, enlisted the support of the kids that she had met hanging out in skate parks around town. They helped build the interior features of the indoor skate park, paint walls and floors and furniture, clean up the dilapidated exterior space, and they eagerly marketed the space to their friends. 

The first year of Clubhouse kids have taken so much ownership of the place that in addition to spending much of their free time there, they give tours, encourage donations, and show up to help with projects and events whenever needed.  

The club has become a safe space for everyone, especially within the LGBTQIA+ community where adults and youth feel comfortable to be who they are and share their stories.

Why Donate:

The longevity of the clubhouse will allow us to continue our partnerships with so many great organizations that use the space for their programming as well.  THANK YOU!!!!
