Mission Statement:
• First Descents is committed to curing young adults of the emotional effects of cancer and empowering them to regain control of their lives by experiencing whitewater kayaking and other challenging adventure sports in a safe, fun and supportive environment.
We are committed to:
• Curing Young Adults of the emotional effects of
cancer.
We believe that:
• Challenging outdoor experiences are the
essential first step in a participant’s healing process.
• These experiences significantly increase self
confidence.
• Self-confidence empowers people affected by
cancer to regain control of their lives.
• A safe, fun and supportive environment furthers
the emotional healing process.
• First Descents programs should be available to
participants regardless of their financial means.
We hope the First Descents experience:
• Builds the perception that young adults with
cancer can lead productive and vigorous lives.
• Inspires others to dedicate time and money to
helping young adults with cancer.
• Lessens the negative impact of cancer on
society.
