As we begin a new year at Vail Valley Unbound, it’s easy to get swept up in the “what” of our days, lip dubs, quests, studio contracts, core skills, and so much more. These are important and worth celebrating, but they’re not the whole story.
At VVU, our why runs deeper. We believe every child carries greatness within them. Education, then, isn’t just about grades or checked boxes, it’s an invitation for each learner to discover who they are and how their unique gifts connect with the needs of the world
A fellow Acton Founder once posed a question that captures this beautifully:
“How valuable is it for your child to get an education?” And, “how valuable would it be for your child to discover a calling?”
At VVU, we believe in offering both: the solid foundation of a strong education and the deeper journey of uncovering a calling. Skills and knowledge matter, but it’s the discovery of purpose that truly transforms.
So while the “what” of each day will bring both triumphs and challenges, let’s keep our eyes on the “why.” Education matters. Calling inspires. Together, they prepare our heroes to step boldly into the world.
In our first Quest, we are exploring our purpose, both within our community and in our studios. As learners, we ask: How will I show up for my tribe? Who am I? What unique gifts can I bring to our community? How will we build a foundation strong enough to lasts many years to come? Along the way, learners may also discover a spark of deep curiosity…perhaps even inspired by a Hero Visitor who opens their eyes to new possibilities.
