Adaptive Climbing:

Climbing fosters an amazing sense of community, trust, courage, and accomplishment. It can be easily adapted to almost any ability level. Through climbing, you can break through barriers and summit to new heights. Whether you have an amputation, spinal cord injury, visual impairment or limited mobility due to CP, SB, MS, MD or other physical conditions, we have climbing opportunities for you! Adaptive Adventures is currently offering programs for children (ages 8+), youth, adults, and veterans.

Costs:

Participant: $9.00 (Paid at the door) Price includes essential climbing equipment, instruction, and lots of fun!
