Description

  

*

What to expect: This climbing weekend is the 4th annual outdoor event for the Midwest adaptive climbing program. It is open to anyone who has been participating in our indoor climbing clinics in the Madison, Milwaukee or Chicago areas. Participants will spend 2 days rock climbing (and possibly enjoying either cycling or kayaking) at Mississippi Palisades State Park and 2 nights camping in the park. In order to attend, you must fill out the application form and attend at least one of the indoor rock climbing clinics at either of the Madison or Chicago programs. Food and gear will be provided during the weekend. Certified guides and experienced volunteers will be there to help you throughout the weekend. Rock climbing outdoors is inherently risky, but we will attempt to minimize that risk by employing safe practices and using all the necessary safety equipment. If you need assistance with everyday tasks such as dressing and using the restroom, please plan to bring someone to help you throughout the weekend, as volunteers may not be able to help you with those things. Participants may also have the opportunity to try kayaking and/or cycling if space allows.
