Mountaineering Day
Rock Climbing, Museum Tour, and More for You, Your Friends, and Your Entire Family to Enjoy!
Please join us at the American Mountaineering Center in downtown Golden for a fun-filled day that you, your friends, and your entire family will enjoy!
Saturday, May 16, 2009
10:00 am - 1:00 pm
In addition to visiting the Bradford Washburn American Mountaineering Museum (the first and only museum in the United States dedicated to mountaineering), we'll have exclusive access to the Center's state-of-the-art indoor rock climbing wall. Climbing activities (for young and old, novice and expert alike) will be supervised by the Youth Education Program division of the Colorado Mountain Club, as will be a child-friendly, hands-on activity focused on learning about the outdoors.
 
As if that weren't enough, lunch will also be provided and there will be plenty of time available for you, your friends, and your family to socialize with fellow HBS alumni and their friends and families.
