YCI does Kilimanjaro. And you can too! Are you looking for a Challenge? An adventure of epic proportions? At 5,895m above sea level, Mount Kilimanjaro, in the Republic of Tanzania, is one of the highest freestanding mountains in the world and easily one of the most famous, with the snow-capped Uhuru Peak towering above the plains below.
This October, Youth Challenge International is offering a once in a life-time opportunity to Give Thanks by climbing Kilimanjaro for charity over Canadian Thanksgiving
YCI’s Climb to Give Thanks will bring together a committed group of individuals who will experience the challenge and exhilaration of climbing Africa’s highest mountain. Climbing Mt.
