The spectacular coast of Maine is the perfect location to bring a group and adventure activities abound. Rock climb one day then sea kayak, bike, hike, or play mini-golf - Acadia National Park and the nearby town of Bar Harbor offers a full selection of activities for groups to choose from.
Acadia Mountain Guides are among the best in the country at facilitating a climbing experience for small groups. We believe in fully involving the participants as much as possible - climbing, rappelling, belaying and often feature cool closure activities such as a tyrolean rope traverse over the Atlantic if desired. Participants will get much more than an "exposure to climbing" and will not spend their day waiting around to climb (unless they want to). We have seen how many other climbing schools do it and we guarantee you will have an active, superb and safe as possible group experience climbing with us. Acadia Mountain Guides Climbing School led the way in developing the American Mountain Guides Association national standard course curriculum and certification exam - the AMGA Top Rope Climbing Instructor and Site Manager Course, which focuses on teaching experienced climbers state of the art technical and educational methods for teaching climbing to individuals and groups.
Group programs are available in Acadia National Park, Clifton (near Bangor), Camden, in the Kennebec River and Penobscot River areas (works well when combined with a rafting trip or a hike up Katahdin), Moosehead Lake region, central New Hampshire and the White Mountains (North Conway, Franconia Notch, Pinkham Notch, Rumney).
