Spring has sprung, and to celebrate, the Greenway Leadership Corps (GLC) sprung up a rock wall. Rock climbing was an excellent way to spend a spring break day. Denver Parks & Rec equipped us with three excellent, experienced, and supportive guides who outfitted us with all the gear and knowledge we needed. It was a chilly day, but the air was refreshing, the view was well worth it, and climbing kept us warm.
Throughout the day, our courage and strength were put to the test, we faced fears, discovered new skills, and had a great time! Everybody was so supportive of each other throughout the day. People called out advice when others were struggling, encouraged each other to try more difficult things, and celebrated their achievements together. It was so wonderful to see everyone push themselves to keep going and to try again.
We were able to rest and recuperate in the crisp spring air while enjoying the GLC staples of free lunch and good company. We are so grateful to our Denver Parks & Recreation guides for being such supportive and encouraging hosts. Their guidance, plus the lunch and gear provided by GLC, meant everybody was able to focus on making the most out of the experience.
As with all GLC events, this event was free and open to all high school students. Those who joined us got to safely step out of their comfort zones and feel accomplished while enjoying good views and great company. We all left with more stories, confidence, good memories, and time in the outdoors than we had before. We cannot wait to see you all next time!
