Our climbing camps take place outdoors and cover basic technical skills of rock climbing and the fundamentals of climbing movement. Campers in our programs will experience real rock in Acadia National Park and from our surrounding area, learn to climb on it, find out how it got there and learn about the surrounding forests. We visit several different areas, each rich with history and culture of the Maine Woods.

Acadia Mountain Guides Climbing School’s curriculum includes many climbing skills such as knots, belaying, rappelling and anchoring. Campers will also learn valuable outdoor skills such as campcraft, cooking, water treatment, Leave No Trace practices, leadership and natural history
