JOIN US FOR A 2026 HEALING ADVENTURE!
Come join us for a day of rock climbing near North Bend with your fellow healthcare workers. We’ll be venturing up epic volcanic rock routes with the trusted local guides from Kaf Adventures. Whether you’re a beginner or expert climber, this program has something for everyone and is open to all levels!
We know it’s difficult to take multiple days away from hectic schedules, so this full-day program just an hour outside of Seattle would be a great chance to experience First Descents, attempt a new adventure sport, and recharge with your peers.
All gear will be provided.
