If you enjoy hiking or climbing and would like to support local non-profit organizations while doing so, consider the Summer of Summits ‘08.
How it works: Participants form teams, then pick a hiking, climbing, or mountaineering objective, such as summiting a particular peak. The teams raise funds toward a monetary goal, then go out and achieve their outdoors goal. All proceeds go to the Colorado Mountain Club and the Pikes Peak chapters of the American Red Cross.
Training sessions are available to prepare you for your objective, and prizes donated by Mountain Chalet will be awarded to select lucky participants!
