Courageous Kids Climbing event, Nov. 9

McCall, Idaho-based Courageous Kids Climbing, is a few weeks away from the return visit to Bakersfield with a FREE rock wall climbing event planned for people with disabilities/special needs (physical or intellectual).

If you or someone you know with special needs (physical or intellectual, visually challenged, hearing impaired, traumatic brain injury, cancer or burn survivor) is interested in participating in the event, which will be held on Saturday, Nov. 9 from 10 a.m. until noon at Action Sports, 9500 Brimhall Rd., Ste. 400, Bakersfield, please email [email protected] for a registration packet.

Note: Participants are not forced to climb, but are welcome to hang out with us at an all-inclusive event!

Volunteers: We are hoping to have six to eight volunteers help get the kids into their harness then belay them as they climb. We also need one or two volunteers (non-climbers) to manage our registration/check-in table. If you are interested, please drop me a note.

Anyone who volunteers at one or more of our events will be entered into a raffle. At the end of the year, we will draw two winners. Each winner will receive a new climbing helmet, courtesy of Petzl.
