The Fall Session of CTC is up and running! We've got six amazing girls and six fantastic mentors. So far, there's been three sessions of games, initiatives, bouldering and rope climbing.
Our first session, the girls got to meet their mentors and we all started getting to know each other. We found common ground about our families, interests and lives. And we created a hand contract to symbolize the new girl culture that we're creating at CTC and talked about all the things that girls these days juggle - and manage to do so with amazing grace and style!
Session two is when we dove into things some more. We had an insightful discusison about gender stereotypes, and were so impressed with the wise input of the CTC girls. Everyone also got sized for climbing shoes and got hands on practice at the climbing gym. There's a lot of excitement about climbing in this group, as we can see in the pictures!
During our last session we learned about using some other climbing gear, and how to belay. Mentors spent time belaying girls, and girls belayed mentors. All the girls and women showed the courage and confidence to be both trusting and trustworthy - wow!
Stay tuned for updates next week, when CTC hits the ropes course at the Asheville School!
