In an effort to support young people who need and want a fun, mindful way to get outdoors and reconnect with themselves, Evoke Therapy Programs has designed a springtime southern Utah multi-sport program from March 12-14, open to those 18 years and older.

The trip begins in St. George at a briefing and get-to-know-you session with Evoke’s professional, highly-experienced wilderness therapy guides. That afternoon the group takes a hike through the red rock that only insiders know about and finishes the day at private lodging to minimize exposure to outside groups.

The second day is the centerpiece of the trip; a full day of canyoneering, just outside of Zion National Park. “Canyoneering is a multi-sport activity that includes hiking, climbing, rappelling and sometimes even swimming,” says Sara Carroll, planner of Evoke’s Pursuits trips. “It’s an excellent way to unite a group in mutual support and play because everyone has to work together to get through each of the canyon’s natural features. It makes for tons of camaraderie and a real feeling of accomplishment at the end of the day.”
 
The final day is more contemplative, spent taking in the desert wildflower bloom, lounging at the Virgin River, and practicing mindfulness and yoga.
 
The trip includes: Transportation during program, lodging, meals, climbing ropes, all technical gear, helmets, and expert guides. Please email Sara@evoketherapy.com for questions, costs, or reservations.
