Courageous Kids Scholarship

History of Courageous Kids Climbing

Courageous Kids Climbing was organized in Valley County, Idaho, in March of 2014. Larry Morten, owner of the Cascade Climbing Gym, and Jeff Riechmann, a rock-climbing enthusiast, gave birth to the concept while discussing ways in which climbers could give back to the community. Their concept was simple: provide an opportunity for children with special needs to learn how to rock climb and organize the events so that there would be no charge to the children or their families.

Jeff is a retired firefighter from California who lost his hearing due to his position with the fire department. This personal experience fuels his commitment to supporting and recognizing the accomplishments of students with learning challenges.

The Donor: Jeff Riechmann

The purpose of the Courageous Kids Scholarship is to recognize Courageous Kids Climbing’s association with the University of Idaho and provide annual scholarship support to deserving University of Idaho students with learning differences and needs who are pursuing a bachelor’s degree in any field of study.
