First Descents is a non-profit organization that is committed to curing young adults of the emotional effects of cancer and empowering them to regain control of their lives by experiencing outdoor adventure therapy through kayaking, rock climbing and other outdoor adventure sports. Each year they host numerous life-changing camps promoting personal empowerment and self healing through a focus on wellness.

This service is *free* to cancer fighters and survivors, but only through the incredible work of selfless volunteers.  If you are interested in sharing your gift of yoga and volunteering for one or more of the camps (schedule and location below), please contact Lisa Nielsen at lisa.nielsen@firstdescents.org, (970)903-4369.  Certified yoga teachers only.
