Get outside! Acadia Mountain Guides Mountain Monkeys Rock Climbing and Adventure Camp is a great first step for youngsters wanting to try a variety of outdoor human-powered activities. A scaled down version of our Explorer and RockPro I camps for young climbers and adventurers, it provides a healthy and safe way to learn outdoor skills and build self-confidence and teamwork. All camps encourage self-discovery, responsibility, fitness, and fun.

In short, it’s all about adventure! Parents can expect small group fun and adventure in the outdoors, from safe, qualified leaders. We have designed each session to be different so a participant could do both sessions with minimal overlap. One day you may be mountain climbing up Beehive and swimming at Sand Beach, and the next day rock climbing by the sea or pulling a lobster trap to see what’s inside!

MOUNTAIN MONKEYS SAMPLE ITINERARY

This camp is offered multiple times throughout the summer. We strive to make

each camp session different enough from the others so that it’s possible to

do multiple camps with minimal repetition. Within each camp we will do a

variety of activities throughout the week. There are so many things to share

and learn, we can’t possibly list them all here. Below are sample itineraries:
