The Ascent - Paperback

by Lori Giesey (Author), Brylee Allred (Illustrator)

"But what if I can't?"

Maddie, Charlie, and Sophi are excited about their first ever Cousin Camp. With Mima's knack for adventure, Papa's mischievous antics, and no parents allowed, they're sure to have a grand time!

When unexpected struggles arise during scavenger hunts, deep cave explorations, and a daunting hike, they must learn to work together to overcome their fears and take the next right step, or miss out on the adventure and the biggest discovery-that they can do hard things.

After three decades of facilitating adventures for youth and adults in both personal and professional settings, Mima (aka Lori Giesey) is capturing the most memorable moments from real-life events in Cousin Camp Chronicles, a series of purposeful adventures curated to help young children cultivate their imagination, sense of wonder, and belief in themselves.

Join a growing group of cousins who learn they are stronger than they think, especially when they work together.
