Rock Climbing: For these two introductory rock climbing trips we will travel to the Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia to challenge ourselves with some excellent top rope climbing at Ravens Roost and Goshen Pass.

All Equipment and Climbing Shoes are included, you bring lunch.
Cost: $15, sign-up deadlines: March 21stand April 4th
Canoe Overnight: Paddle up to primitive camping along the shores of James River State Park. No previous paddling experience is required, as our guides will show you a few strokes to get you moving down river in style. This section of the James is a nice float with a few good ripples and gorgeous scenery. All canoeing and camping equipment, trip meals and camping fees are included.
