Camp Season: 2005-06-14 to 2005-08-08
Sessions:

Two teams of ten hikers (20 individuals) from each college, church group, organization are encouraged to join us on the very first hiking trips to the bottom of the Grand Canyon National Park to the Phantom Ranch during a five-day hiking trip during spring breaks in 2009, taking young people who cannot walk.  College students will receive academic credit. During each trip each group of 20 students will take two young people who cannot walk to the bottom of the Grand Canyon by way of the Bright Angel Trail, stay the night on the bottom and then hike back out.   These will be the very first hiking trail descents to the bottom of the Grand Canyon National Park by any individuals who cannot walk. Campuses from all around the country can participate.  This is an incredibly difficult trip because the trails have over 6,000 erosion logs, so being in shape and able to endure a nine hour descent and a twelve hour ascent working as a team pushing and pulling young people with disabilities down and back out of the world's most famous and most visitied National Park is essential. This trip is enabling the youth of this nation to access for the very first time the world's greatest and most famous natural wonder.
