First Descents strives to become the leader in innovative camps supporting young adults with cancer. Using Kayaking, extreme sports and professional athletes, First Descents offers young adults with cancer outdoor experiences that will forever change their lives.
Each camp session is limited to fifteen campers per session, ensuring individualized care and medical attention. All meals, accommodations and camp activities are provided to campers free of charge.
Contributions to First Descents can be made in memory of a loved on or in honor of a birthday, anniversary or special occasion of a family member or friend. Also, First Descents would appreciate any donated equipment that is in relatively new and working condition.
Every donation to First Descents helps to provide a cost-free camp experience for a young adult cancer survivor.
1. I went to First Descents last summer and it was absolutely amazing. Words cannot possibly describe my experience. I finally felt normal, because I was surrounded by survivors who got it. They just understood me and I understood them. If you are even considering donating to First Descents, please do so and give anything you can. You will truly be making a difference in a young person's life.
