At Touchstone Climbing, we are dedicated to being an active member of our neighborhood and to giving back to our community. Since we first opened, it has been a high priority for us to reach out to individuals and groups in the communities that we serve. We are very committed to offering youth-at-risk and adults-in-need a unique experience where they can push beyond their own preconceived notions of their limits to explore a potential which might otherwise go unrecognized.
We have hosted numerous urban children's groups as well as organizations that cater to individuals with learning disabilities or physical impairments. Climbing can teach us all a great deal about conquering our fears, about pushing through self-doubt toward new understandings, and about trusting - both ourselves and others.
To witness the breakthroughs that some participants experience as well as the pure exhiliration and joy that most everyone discovers, is both remarkable and rewarding. To see the laughter and smiles continually reaffirms for us how fortunate we are to be able to share something we are passionate about with the community around us.

In addition to hosting underprivileged and at-risk groups in our facilities, Touchstone also has lent its support to a multitude of other organizations.
From environmental fund-raisers to help clean up the outdoors, to awareness drives to aid in the fight against a number of diseases, to donating gym passes and lessons to local schools' and charities' auctions, Touchstone is proud to take an active part in making our communities better places to live. If you work with a nonprofit charity or other community groups and think Touchstone may be able to help, please contact the gym in your area.
