See You At The Summit
Empowering Teens Affected by Cancer Through Wilderness Adventure
This trip, team, and research is devoted to improving the young people's lives during and after a cancer diagnosis. See You At the Summit is a 9 day/ 8 night backpacking trek + mountain summit in Oregon, USA aimed at helping teenagers experiencing cancer reclaim their lives and personal sense of power. On this medically supported wilderness trip, teenagers connect to peers living the same challenges, cultivate resiliency, and immerse themselves in the healing power of nature. See You at the Summit focuses on adolescents 13-18 years old with cancer, during a vital stage of their psychosocial development. The goals is to support teenagers during their diagnosis and treatment to help them process their experience.
The curriculum was developed specifically for young adults, using current research and guidance from professionals in the field. The combination of immersing in nature, connecting with other teenagers, and summiting a wilderness challenge encourages a therapeutic transformation in how adolescents view themselves, their illness, and their future.
