Bringing Climbing Back to Cal-Wood!

OUR VISION

​

​WHY CLIMBING MATTERS

At Cal-Wood Education Center, we’ve been connecting people to nature for over 40 years. Now, we’re rekindling one of our most inspiring outdoor experiences—our climbing program at Talus, our 40-foot granite rock wall with breathtaking views of the Rockies.

​

We believe climbing is more than a sport—it’s a transformative experience that builds resilience, teamwork, and self-confidence, especially for kids who’ve never had the opportunity to try something like this.

​

WHO BENEFITS

​

A CLIMBING PROGRAM FOR EVERYONE

Our goal is to integrate climbing into Cal-Wood’s full slate of programs:

• Bilingual family camps

• School programs for underresourced communities

• Summer camps for middle and high schoolers

• Professional retreats and team-building

​

Many of the students we serve would never have access to climbing without this program. Your support changes that.

 

HOW YOU CAN HELP

​

HELP GET THIS PROGRAM OFF THE GROUND

We’re seeking donations to help us relaunch the climbing program with the gear and resources needed to make it safe and inclusive.

​

Your donation supports:
✔️ Harnesses, helmets, ropes, and carabiners
✔️ Instructor training and safety equipment
✔️ Scholarships to ensure every student can climb, regardless of income

​

Your gift today will help children and families from all backgrounds reach new heights—literally and figuratively.
