7 Summits Youth Challenge

"Youth of all ages are encouraged to get out and exercise in the outdoors. Local youth mountaineer will guide groups of youth to the peaks of the 7 highest peaks in the Big Bear Valley. There is no charge to participate. Participants will receive free goodies on each hike and be eligible for great raffle prizes donated by many of Jordan's sponsors."

WHY?: "Local youth mountaineer, Jordan Romero, is on his way to climbing the World's 7 Summits. He wants to share his experience with other youth and so created the 7 Summits of Big Bear Youth Challenge. Following the 7 Summits of Big Bear developed by Ted and Heather DeVito, Jordan is doing his best to get kids outdoors.

"Climbing the 7 Summits, I have learned so much about eating right, being healthy, and the benefits of exercising in the outdoors," says Jordan. "I want other kids to feel what it's like to set a goal and then stand on the top of that mountain," he says with wisdom beyond his 12 years.

The 7 Summits Youth Challenge gives kids of all ages a chance to hike the 7 highest peaks in the Big Bear Valley. Jordan will lead the hikes and give everyone tips about training, nutrition and goal setting."
