BRISTOL — Military veterans, service members and their families can take to the heights on Friday as part of a free day of climbing and camaraderie at Boundless Adventures in Bristol Woods Park.
The annual Veterans Climb features two-hour climbing sessions in the aerial adventure park from 3:30-10 p.m. for active-duty personnel, reservists, veterans and up to two family members each. The last climbing session will begin at 7:30 p.m.
The evening will feature light refreshments and a ceremony at 6 p.m. with guest speakers honoring the service and sacrifice of the military community. Local veteran-focused organizations also will be available to share information about programs and resources.
“Each year, the Veterans Climb is an opportunity to say ‘thank you’ to our veterans and active-duty military,” Kenosha County Executive Samantha Kerkman said.
Civilians are welcome to join the climb for $45 per person, with proceeds benefiting Veterans of Foreign Wars Father Matthias Zerfas Post 11279 in Twin Lakes.
Space is limited for both free and paid climbing, and advance registration is required at https://bit.ly/2025VeteransClimb. Those without internet access may call the Kenosha County Division of Veterans Services at 262-605-6690.
Boundless Adventures, a public-private partner of Kenosha County Parks, has hosted free military and veteran climb events since opening in 2019.
“The brave men and women who have and continue to serve our country deserve thanks, not just today, but every day,” said Brian Funtleyder, who owns the business with his wife, Lorrie. “We deeply appreciate their bravery and commitment to sustaining our nation’s core values.”
Bristol Woods Park is located at 9800 168th Ave. (Highway MB).
