Challenge by Choice Summer Program focuses on creating an experiential education environment outside the classroom. Children have the opportunity to participate in a summer journey that helps them reach their highest potential. Helping abused children overcome poor self-esteem, low self-confidence, the inability to build appropriate social relationships, and poor sportsmanship is paramount to the healing process. The Challenge by Choice adventure-based program provides new and different experiences while incorporating traditional wilderness education including canoeing, rafting, camping, service projects and hiking. The program culminates with the kids ascending Colorado’s tallest mountain Mt. Elbert.

Follow the progress of the ten students who have chosen to participate in this unique program. The photos on this page will be updated throughout the month of July with a complete photographic journal of the 2006 program posted in August.

The photos below are from the first week of the program, where the students went caving and camping in the mountains of Colorado.
