EXPERIENCE TAKE STEPS

Start at our Trailhead area. Check-in, submit donations, and IBD patients — you’ll find a special green T-shirt!

Next, grab a Dedication Ribbon that represents your connection to IBD. Hold on to it for our Dedication Ribbon Ceremony!

Head over to Base Camp to learn more about support and resources — and our work towards IBD cures.

At Base Camp, select your Badges. Wear them proudly to show your connection to the IBD community!

Your IBD journey is unique — and important. Patients and caregivers, add a marker on our IBD Journey Map in honor of where you've been and where we're headed: Mt. Remission & IBD cures.

Join in on fun activities and crafts for kids of all ages at Camp Oasis Corner!

Let patients and caregivers know they’re not alone when you participate in the Dedication Ribbon Ceremony.

There are more areas to explore and enjoy while at Take Steps. From our photo area at Mt. Remission, to Trailblazer Lodge for our Top Fundraisers, and more — there is fun for all ages. We can’t wait to see you!
