The Brown Girls Climbing Team, established in 2017, is the first rock climbing adventure team for girls of color. We are stewards of adventure explorations in water, on land and rock. Following the footsteps of our ancestors, Brown Girls Climbing forages toward equal participation in all aspects of recreation, adventure and sport.

The fabric of the program, rooted in an intersectional dimension of diversity, affords children an intentional opportunity to immerse in organic experiences and healing nature spaces. Our offerings supported by a culturally conscious community, provide safe adventure activities, to feel secure in trying new things in a compassionate place to be seen.

EACH ONE TEACH ONE

The team program is a weekly journey through an intrinsically rhythmic module where members are encourage to explore the process of kinetic experiential learning. The fluid module allows creative space to foster confidence through skill and leadership development while mindfully bridging teachable adventure opportunities.

Participants discover valuable tools connecting voice and body confidence through movement and sovereign exploration. The team program provides consistent positive reinforcement through community by elevating autonomy and independence.
