Montana Endurance Academy is a Bozeman based non-profit organization providing high quality year-round outdoor endurance training programs. We train, educate, and develop recreational and competitive athletes.
Our outdoor programs include Youth and Adult Winter Nordic Programs plus Summer and Fall multi-sport training for ages five and up!
The smaller group size of our programs allows us to give individual attention to each athlete to help them reach their goals, whether it is competitive racing, recreational skiing or simply wanting to be in the best shape for their outdoor pursuits.
We Love Helping our Community!
As a non-profit, a part of our mission is to give back to the community. MEA’s goal is to ensure that all kids in the Gallatin Valley community have the opportunity to learn how to Nordic ski regardless of socioeconomic limitations. We also participate and volunteer in trail development, at local races/events, and most recently the Fix-Up Festival in Bozeman.
Help us keep our athletes and community projects strong with your donation of support.
