Ascend: A Hiking Group for Survivors of Domestic Abuse

Our goal is to facilitate a healing, restorative experience where survivors can feel safe to explore nature as well as challenge themselves physically through rewarding hikes to experience stunning waterfalls and scenic vistas. We are partnered with Safe Harbor to provide a healing, inspiring experience for our participants while they build confidence by completing a series of hikes in Upstate SC. All of our hikes will be ranger-guided and participants of all experience levels are welcome.

We hope that this program will give these survivors of domestic violence the chance to connect with others with shared experiences and form bonds through the challenges of wilderness recreation. Through these guided hikes, we will help our participants build confidence and competence in wilderness activities while benefiting from the restorative effects of time spent in nature
