Community Programs

Are you part of a school, university, scouting group, wellness program, or another organization? We want to collaborate with you!

At SDCS, we believe that repeated experiences deepen learning and maximize the impact of our programs. Our Guides have extensive experience working with groups of students to create meaningful individual and collective experiences that foster growth, connection, and awe.

Let’s work together to inspire and empower your community!

We are still navigating the challenges of starting a business and developing creative funding sources.

Do you have access to brands, national or local resources? Please reach out!

Rock climbing is an inherently exclusive sport - it is a privilege to focus on physical and mental athleticism in addition to daily survival. Affinity spaces are designed for people who share a specific identity or experience. Affinity spaces in climbing allow people who have historically been excluded from these spaces due to race, socioeconomic status, ability, or other barriers - to experience climbing in an environment that feels safe, welcoming, and relevant to their identity.

Affinity spaces can also serve as platforms for building capacity and developing future leaders, guides, and mentors within underrepresented communities. This ensures that the climbing community becomes more reflective of the diversity of experiences and identities in society, and allows future generations to be mentored by individuals who share similar backgrounds and experiences. SDCS is committed to facilitating this process.
