As a small private Christian School, we rely on generous giving to bridge the gap between our annual operating expenses and tuition income. As we continue to focus on establishing an ever-expanding culture of generosity, we want to provide a variety of giving opportunities that best align with your financial preferences. At VCA, your gifts go directly to enhancing the areas you choose to support. Explore just some of the giving initiatives we are pursuing at Vail Christian Academy, and consider partnering with us to make a direct impact in areas of passion, interest or involvement.

  • NIGHT AT THE RANCH

    Night at the Ranch is an annual community gala held each fall at 4 Eagle Ranch. Proceeds directly benefit need areas at VCA in real time for the current school-year. Tickets are on sale NOW for November 8th 2025

  • SKI-A-THON

    The Ski-a-Thon is our biggest all school family event of the year. Ski-a-Thon is a 100% student-led fundraiser where students come together at Arrowhead Mountain to ski as many laps as possible in three hours to raise money for VCA.

  • LOVE LIKE MILLIE MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP

    The Love Like Millie Scholarships honor the life of VCA Student Millie Collier (2016-2023) and makes it possible for academically qualified students to attend VCA who demonstrate they love Jesus and love others like Millie.

Parents are encouraged to be involved in the exciting events scheduled throughout the year to build community and support VCA’s programs! There are many ways to get involved including joining a fundraising committee, corporate and individual sponsorships, and donating in-kind goods and services.
