About
Our History:
In 2011, rock climbers and volunteers from the not-for-profit Vancouver Rock Climbing Group Society founded Climb and Conquer Society Canada as the first-of-its-kind pilot project in BC and a registered charity (85092 7237 RR0001) servicing youth age 5-18 from low-income or disadvantaged backgrounds in Squamish and Vancouver, BC. Our goal is to provide free access of climbing and counselling to youth (age 5-18) to support them to be active leaders to create their own successful communities.
100% of our programs are $0 to youth and families, paid by community donations.
​
Our current 2 programs:
-Providing admission passes for youth (age 5-18) and their family to try out indoor rock climbing.
-Finding free counselling resources for youth and families
​
Our past programs include one on one mentorship, youth group, rock climbing day trips in Squamish BC, rock climbing overnight summer camps, youth employment program, and community fundraisers.
​
What is indoor rock climbing?
Indoor climbing is an increasingly popular form of rock-climbing performed on artificial structures that attempt to mimic the experience of outdoor rock-climbing in a more controlled and supervised environment. It is an amazing exercise, similar to gymnastics and yoga, suitable to all ages and abilities; no prior experiences needed.
​
Climbing requires active concentration and creating calmness and comfort in stressful and uncomfortable situations. The climber needs to be a critical thinker and a problem-solver, persevering through challenging situations and practicing honest self-evaluation, constant self-improvement, and teamwork. Climbing is both a sport, a lifetime adventure, and a daily mindfulness practice.
