The Adventure:

​

Why Rock Climbing? 

​

Rock climbing encourages focus, problem-solving, and mental control. 

 

Rock climbing provides opportunities for increased insight, courage, and self-reliance. It promotes awareness of the physical and mental elements of fear in a safe environment.  It encourages the mental control necessary to relax, focus on the present moment, and actively choose perseverance in the face of fear, thoughts of failure or self-doubt - building resilience and confidence in your ability to overcome obstacles.   

 

Consider for: 

​

    Children who struggle with self-doubt, fear of failure, or perfectionism

    Children who struggle with perseverance, distress tolerance, or avoidance

    Children who struggle with adaptability, transitions, or rigid thinking

​

Natural Elements:  

​

The mindful focus of each event will center upon the natural elements available. Consistent with mindfulness-based therapies, each element embodies a quality which can promote emotional stability and well-being.  Climbing at Donner Summit offers: 

​

         Water:  Qualities of reflecting, tranquil, & seeing things clearly as they are.  

          Promotes feeling calm, still and quiet. 

​

         Mountain:  Qualities of a solid, calm, & unwavering nature. 

         Promotes feeling strong, confident, and determined. 

​

         Open Space:  Qualities of freedom, openness, & welcoming of all.

         Promotes feeling free, light, relaxed and peaceful.  

​

Environmental Policy: 

​

At The Courage Project, we seek to promote environmental stewardship and self-efficacy through Leave No Trace policies. Consistent with this vision, we ask that no single use plastic bottles be brought to the event. Each participant will be provided with a water bottle and snack.  Please pack out all items you packed in and strive to leave the natural environment untouched.
