Known across the Midwest as the best spot for outdoor rock climbing, this weekend is sure to improve your climbing skills. Saturday will be filled with an expertly guided rock-climbing session and if time allows some light hiking. The group will spend both Friday and Saturday night camping at a campground with access to modern bathrooms. Previous indoor climbing experience is recommended. Price includes expert rock-climbing guides on location, rock climbing gear, shuttle van transportation, and all meals. A confirmation email will be sent out the Monday after registration is closed. We will meet at Camp Prairie Schooner on Friday morning at 9am and Council will transport the girls down to Horseshoe Canyon Ranch.
