Each Hike & Climb Session is 1 Day (9am-4pm). We will be offering two sessions, each day will be a different unique hiking location, sign up for one day or both!
Participants will spend half the day climbing on on our indoor rock wall learning crucial techniques, and important safety skills. Then well take our 15 passenger van to one of our local trails (Session 1 10/10 Leave peepin' @ Lair o' the bear!) to hike through the changing leaves, enjoy the crisp fill air, and learn about the flora fauna and ecology of the area This camp is one part adventure, one part education, and all parts fun!
