Get ready to climb! Girl Scouts will test their strength and courage at Skidmore Wall in the North River Gorge, a perfect spot for beginner climbers. After a short hike, Girl Scouts will gear up, learn the basics of climbing, and tackle real rock, with Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors taking on an extra challenge by learning to belay-followed by a quick walk to the beautiful North River.
Vivid Earth Adventures provides all climbing and safety gear; Girl Scouts should wear comfortable clothes, sturdy closed-toe shoes, and dress for the weather.
