Expedition Survival Tip

What do you do when you discover your tentmate is a snorer? Thank your lucky stars they’re keeping the bears away.

Join the BCM Challenge

Many of our supporters and volunteers believe strongly in Big City Mountaineers’ mission to “instill critical life skills in under-served urban youth through transformational wilderness mentoring expeditions,” and want to raise money for our cause.  The more donations and financial support Big City Mountaineers receives, the more lives we are able to change.

The BCM Challenge is an opportunity for you to challenge yourself with a race, ride, or climb while also raising funds for under-served urban youth.  You decide on the challenge and we will provide the online platform for you to raise money from friends, family, and colleagues.  Contact us and get started today!
