Youth on Mountains

Adventure Leadership Course

Last summer, youth explored the magnificant glacier and rock terrain in our local Purcell Mountains.  Our leadership team would like to thank our sponsors for helping make this amazing five day youth backcountry adventure possible.  Because of the generous support from the community, we were able to…

• Climb above the valley into the alpine zone and discover the wicked summits and remote wilderness that exists in own backyard!  
• Wander in wildflower meadows and discover the interpretive stories behind the fauna that live on exposed ridges. 
• Learned how to be prepared to live with what you carry on your body and live in all kinds of weather, including snow!
• Realized the capabilities we had in ourselves, climbing on alpine rock and even navigating on a glacier.

 All of us are grateful to the following organizations, as well as dozens of other individuals who helped make this program:

ü      Nelson and District Credit Union

ü      BC Hydro

ü      Oso Negro

ü      Still Eagle

ü      Overwaitea

ü      Valhalla Pure
