Roger Pepper Camp for Teen Burn Survivors in Crested Butte

Mt. Crested Butte, CO - Port Richey, Florida resident Brandon Wolf found refuge in the Adaptive Sports Center’s Roger Pepper Camp for teenage burn survivors when he was 14 years old. Now, at 22, he is coming back to serve as a chaperone for the camp that helped him come into his own as a teenager.

This winter’s camp is made up of eleven new and returning attendees from Texas, Florida, Missouri and Washington, who will ski and snowboard at Crested Butte Mountain Resort and ice climb in Ouray, Colorado. All activities will be led by instructors from the Adaptive Sports Center. Campers will share a home in Crested Butte for the week, where they will gather for group meals and socializing in the evenings.
Roger Pepper Camp founder Allison Massari nearly lost her life in a car accident in 1998, and established the camp in 2001. Roger Pepper was the man who pulled Massari from her burning car, saving her life and risking his own. Roger Pepper Camp is run by the Adaptive Sports Center and is funded entirely by private donors; participants pay nothing to attend. The camp is run for one week in the summer and one week in the winter. Massari, an artist, teacher and inspirational speaker, will attend a portion of this winter’s camp, with plans to share her story and words of advice with the group.
