Exciting News! Our ACC Columbia Mountains Section YOUTH Program has received a substantial grant from the Columbia Basin Trust Community Initiatives and Affected Areas Program. We would like to whole heartedly thank the CBT, the evaluation team and the City for their interest and support of this program! We will be using some of the funding to purchase youth specific climbing and hiking gear available for participants to use upon request. We will also be using some of the funding to continue offering subsidized youth courses and programs. Finally we will be using a portion of the funding to subsidize youth trip expenses such as hut fees etc. Stay tuned for upcoming trips!

Hello Section Members.

Up until now we have been reluctant to offer spring and summer courses and trips in light of the current COVID situation. Since the pandemic outbreak began in March we have been in contact with the National ACC office and have been following their lead in our decision.

We now feel confident that we can safely offer some courses and trips following National ACC AND local COVID guidelines.

It is now with great pleasure that we are starting to add courses and trips for the summer 2020 season. Stay tuned to the website as we start to post them.

Looking forward to safely sharing in summer adventures!
