New River Gorge

(recommended for kids aged 11 to 18)

Our New River Rock Trip is a great introduction to outdoor rock climbing for young climbers. Located in Fayetteville, WV, the New River Gorge is one of the best climbing areas in the East Coast! With over 3000 routes to choose from--great top-roping, lead climbing and bouldering--the New has the greatest variety of routes, for all skill levels, of any climbing area in the country. Skills covered will include: basic rappelling, bouldering and bouldering safety, knot tying and basic rope skills, leave no trace hiking and camping ethics, and general outdoor climbing safety. Climbers will also, of course, have a chance to test their climbing skills on real rock, learning improved technique and a repertoire of moves that will improve their overall ability and confidence as climbers. Climbers will stay at the Rocky Top Retreat, just a few minutes walking distance from the rocks themselves.

Adirondak State Park (recommended for kids aged 13 & up) The Adirondaks are the Yosemite Valley of the East. Some of the biggest and best granite walls are located in the 1,000,000+ acre Adirondak State Park near Lake Placid, NY. Climbers will spend 4 days climbing and hiking in the Keene Valley. More than just a climbing trip, kids will learn about areas of climbing which cannot be taught in a gym—anchor building, seconding a multi-pitch route, safety and route-finding in a wilderness environment, as well as outdoor bouldering and hiking in the backcountry. Climbers will stay in the Chapel Pond Campground, within walking distance of Chapel Pond. Camping is primitive and pristine.
