Description

 

           

 

Join Adaptive Adventures and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab for an awesome evening of adaptive rock climbing. We have trained volunteers who will help you climb any route. 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. 

We are currently accepting 8 participants per session (6:00 - 7:15 or 7:15 - 8:30). We will open one spot per session for the arc harness. Volunteers must sign up for a specific role. Please do not sign up for a roll you do not feel comfortable in.  You MUST register to attend! If you show up without registering we will not be able to accommodate you. Participants must come at the session time they sign up for. If you come earlier or later than your allotted time, we may not be able to accommodate you. Please arrive on time. Volunteers will stay for both sessions. 

 

Costs:

Participant: $10.00 for Civilian w/ Disability (Paid at the door).  Free for Veteran w/ Disability.  Price includes essential climbing equipment, instruction, and lots of fun!

Volunteers: Registered volunteers assisting with the program are free thanks to the generous support of First Ascent climbing gym.

Thanks to the generous support from our sponsors and donors, the partnership with SRALAB and First Ascent gym, we are able to keep these costs extremely low and provide scholarships for those in need.
