Group Outdoor Programs

If you are an established summer camp or school group that wants to add climbing or other adventure-based activities to your offerings, but don’t have the certified staff, equipment, or insurance Petra Cliffs can help! We have the infrastructure in place to manage almost any adventure for your group. Petra Cliffs offers group climbing to summer camps, school and youth groups, non-profit organizations, and more. We also offer programming at the Bolton Adventure Center where we facilitate challenge course activities, low and high ropes course elements, and a giant swing. Learn more about BAC here.

If you have a group of adults or a family that wants to try rock climbing, ice climbing, caving, kayaking, backcountry skiing, or another outdoor adventure, please check out our Private Guide pricing here.
