Regina youth with sight loss provided opportunity to learn rock climbing
The Canadian National Institute for the Blind is responsible for launching the program, and the Regina version was sponsored by Jumpstart.
“For me, I want them to be self-sufficient down the road, and giving them the tools or even just the mental fortitude to be able to go into an unknown territory safely but with a good mental state. If they have the ability to think and problem solve while they’re climbing up a rock wall that they have no idea what the next hold’s going to be, that’s going to give them a lot of life skills down the road,” Lewis said.
Another pupil named Fletcher scaled multiple walls with little to no challenge, all the more impressive considering he was a first-time climber.
