"When we reach the mountain summits we leave behind all the things that weigh heavily on our body and our spirit. We leave behind all sense of depression; we feel a new freedom, a great exhilaration of the body no less than the spirit."

The MCSA encourages youths to partake in mountaineering activities, including not only hiking and climbing locally, but to attend overseas international meets.

Through its affiliation with the UIAA, the MCSA offers excellent annual opportunities for youth MCSA members to attend UIAA International Youth Meets. The meets are hosted by different member organisations of the UIAA (mostly the ones based in Europe) and cater for different age groups and activities. The meets are usually scheduled to take place in July - September (Europe's summer holidays). Click on guidelines to see more detail and available funding.

Through a special fund, called the Supertramp Award, money becomes available for youths seeking assistance for overseas expeditions. Click on guidelines for more detail. The 2006 recipients of this award went to India - Read about it here.
