Give the Gift of Adventure

As we head into our 25th year of healing adventures this holiday season, our goal is to raise $50,000 to help fund transformative experiences for young adults impacted by cancer and MS.

Catherine Carey

A Wisconsin cheesehead native and aunt to 10 (and counting) nieces and nephews, Catherine spent her childhood summers hiking in the Rocky Mountains, even summiting the 3rd class 14er Longs Peak at the age of 6. She is a master escape room escapologist, a singer in an 8-person acapella choir, and thanks to her work experience at Walt Disney World, an expert in navigating the ins, outs and arounds of Florida theme parks. Catherine couldn’t be more excited for this new adventure with First Descents as a coordinator of their incredible outdoor programs.
