Blodgett Open Space Hike with Baseline: Veteran Family Dynamics
Blodgett Open Space, 3786 Woodmen Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80919, Colorado Springs, CO, USBlodgett Open Space Hike with RiseUP & Baseline: Veteran Family Dynamics
Join RiseUP and Baseline Veteran Family Services for a morning hike at Blodgett Open Space on Friday, September 4 at 7:00 a.m. as part of the RiseUP Elevation Challenge.
The RiseUP Elevation Challenge is a month-long September fundraiser where individuals and teams walk, hike, run, climb stairs, or use incline to reach personal elevation goals while raising support for RiseUP and other nonprofit partners. Every foot of elevation helps raise awareness and support for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, neurodiversity, veterans, families, and others working to rise into greater health, connection, and community.
This hike is a great opportunity to get outside, log elevation toward your challenge goal, enjoy meaningful conversation, and connect with others who believe in the power of the outdoors to strengthen individuals, families, and communities.
Whether you are already registered for the Elevation Challenge or just want to learn more, we would love to have you join us.Hike Leaders:
