Rock Climbing and Rappelling
Rock Climbing and Rappelling introduces participants to the rewards of this popular sport amongst the beautiful cliffs and canyons of Skaha Bluffs Provincial Park.
Learn the essentials to safely belay, rock climb and rappel under the supervision of our ACMG Guides. Rock climbing is a superb vehicle to promote personal growth and self-discovery by challenging teens both physically and mentally. Confidence, trust, cooperation and teamwork are all emphasized while students have fun at the same time!
You can put your mind at ease, knowing your group is in the capable hands of our experienced, professional Association of Canadian Mountain Guide staff. Safety is our priority while providing students with an enjoyable, educational experience.
