Get in Touch with Your Inner Primate!
On Saturday, March 29, the Wisconsin Association of Blind Students (WABS) will be holding a Rock Climbing event in Madison Wisconsin. We are looking for ages from high school and up to scale the walls with us and reach for the horizon.
We will all get together on Saturday afternoon to head over from the hotel to Boulders climbing gym on Madison’s East side. Rock climbing will last for three hours, in which time; there will be a chance to work one on one with the staff. We are very excited, and we look forward to getting a chance to get to know you!
Prior to heading to the gym, we are going to do a series of formal and informal activities and the like to get to know one another. We’ll be ordering pizza, and we can’t eat it all ourselves, so you really should join us!
As WABS is helping with the cost of this event, hotel, rock climbing and meals will cost a total of $45; a very pretty price for such fun. We have booked rooms at the Holiday Inn on the East side of Madison which has a pool so bring along your swimsuit. We’ll head home Sunday morning, after a night of swimming, eating left-over pizza and making new friends. For your convenience, we are looking to hire a driver and would encourage you to use our transportation if it at all works in your schedule and makes it possible for you to come and share this event with us. There will be a nurse on staff as well as night monitors at the hotel to ensure your safety and comfort!
WABS is a division of the National Federation of the Blind of Wisconsin. We encourage students to push their limits, believe in themselves and stop blindness from being a barrier. We pride ourselves in not only being a successful division of the NFBW, but also being a great supportive group of students who form lasting friendships in and out of our division.
