Meet Nadia Maarouf — one of the people going Into the Summit.

As a healthcare professional and medical humanitarian volunteer, Nadia has seen the effects that occupational stress and burnout can have on people working in demanding environments. For her, raising awareness around occupational stress injuries is both important and personal.

That’s what brings her to Into the Summit.

On October 25, Nadia will join the other participants underground in Rat’s Nest Cave, raising funds and awareness in support of mental health and wellness for military personnel, veterans and their families.

Want to take part yourself? There’s still an opportunity to join Nadia and the rest of the Into the Summit team, set a fundraising goal and take on the challenge on October 25.

You already know we take people caving but did you know we can teach you how to become a caver?

Our Intro to Caving Course takes things a step beyond simply following your guide underground.

It's an introduction to the skills, knowledge and decision-making that recreational cavers use to explore underground environments - from equipment and trip preparation to navigation, movement, communication and responsible caving practices.

You don't need previous caving experience. You just need to be interested in learning what goes into exploring a cave when you're no longer simply along for a tour.

There's going caving.

And then there's learning to cave.

Our next Intro to Caving Course drops
November 14, 2026.

Not every place in Into the Summit belongs to someone making the descent.

The Missing Soldier table is a military tradition used to remember and honour those who served but did not return. A place is set for someone who is absent—a visible reminder of those who are no longer able to take their place alongside their comrades.

The Missing Soldier also has a place in this year's Into the Summit campaign.

On October 25, participants will descend into Rat's Nest Cave, raising funds in support of mental health and wellness for military personnel, veterans and their families. The Missing Soldier campaign provides another way to contribute: if you'd like to support Into the Summit without donating to a specific participant, you can make your contribution here.

Want to take part yourself? There's still time to join the Into the Summit team, set a fundraising goal and make the descent on October 25.

What moves you?

There's more to moving through a cave than crawling.

Every passage is a little different. Sometimes you walk. Sometimes you climb. Sometimes you use your hands, your knees or whatever combination happens to work at the time.

With experience, you start learning how to read the cave, choose your route and move through it more efficiently.

It's one of those things that looks pretty simple, until you realize there's actually a lot to learn.

If learning it sounds like your kind of thing, our INTRO TO CAVING COURSE is a pretty good place to start.

Meet Mobina Jafarabadi — one of the people going Into the Summit.

Through her work and volunteer experience at The Military Museums in Calgary, Mobina has had the opportunity to connect with serving members, veterans and their families and hear firsthand about some of the challenges they face.

That connection is a big part of why she’s participating. For Mobina, Into the Summit isn’t simply about taking on a challenge underground. It’s an opportunity to show support, raise awareness and remind members of the military community that they aren’t facing those challenges alone.

On October 25, she’ll put those words into action alongside the rest of the Into the Summit team in Rat’s Nest Cave.

Want to join Mobina underground? Registration is still open for those who want to take on the challenge and raise funds as part of the 2026 team.

Meet Zsofia Krinbill — one of the people going Into the Summit.

Zsofia’s reason for participating looks both at the people around her today and toward the next generation. She’s taking part to support friends and family, with an eye toward a kiddo who may one day pursue a military career of their own.

On October 25, Zsofia will join the Into the Summit team for a descent into Rat’s Nest Cave, raising funds in support of military personnel, veterans and their families.

It’s one participant and one fundraising goal, contributing to a much larger effort to support mental health and wellness within the military community.

Could you go Into the Summit too? There’s still time to join Zsofia and the team on October 25 and fundraise as a participant yourself.

Win-Timdouine Cave is located beneath the Tasroukht Plateau in Morocco’s Western High Atlas Mountains, northeast of Agadir. More than 19 kilometres of passages have been documented within the limestone, making it Morocco’s longest known cave system. It also contains the longest known underground river in Africa, an unusual feature in a region characterized by a semi-arid climate.

Water enters the system as rainfall filters through fractures and openings in the limestone of the plateau above. Studies of Win-Timdouine have shown a close relationship between rainfall, water moving through the cave, and the surrounding groundwater. The cave forms part of a larger karst aquifer that supplies freshwater to the region, demonstrating the important role cave systems can play in storing and transporting groundwater.

Stalagmites within Win-Timdouine also preserve a record of past environmental conditions. Changes in their chemistry and growth can be used to reconstruct variations in rainfall over thousands of years. Research from the cave has contributed to our understanding of the African Humid Period, when a stronger monsoon brought substantially more rainfall into northern Africa and parts of the Sahara supported lakes, rivers and vegetation. Win-Timdouine is therefore not only a record of the water moving through the landscape today, but also of major climatic changes that occurred thousands of years ago.

Meet Jeanelle Narayan — back for another descent Into the Summit.

Jeanelle participated in last year’s event, an experience she describes as both incredible and deeply meaningful. This October, she’s returning to Rat’s Nest Cave to take on the challenge again.

Her reason for coming back is firmly connected to the purpose behind the event: supporting mental health and wellness and the veterans, serving members and families affected by operational stress injuries.

On October 25, Jeanelle and the rest of the Into the Summit team will head underground, each raising funds as part of a collective effort in support of Canada’s military community.

Want to take on the challenge alongside her? There’s still an opportunity to become a participant in this year’s Into the Summit.
