Classes: TRAVEL
Climb Every Mountain
Your instructor takes that song to heart in his quest to climb the “seven summits” in the world. His inspiration to climb mountains was fostered by a desire to call attention to the problems of childhood obesity. You hear details of planning a climb, look at climbing gear, and view photos of his latest trek up Mt. Elbrus in Western Russia and his climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
Instructor: Wally Glover, amateur mountain climber

Medical Missions – Part of Giving
Many Columbus doctors, nurses, other medical personnel, translators, and general helpers thrive on the yearly trips they make to Mexico and Central America to provide medical care in remote villages. Join your instructor as he shares the hardships and joy of the people served on a recent trip to Erandique, Honduras. You discover future trip dates, cost, level of skills needed, and perhaps find a ‘good fit’ for yourself to participate in a medical mission.
