Our wilderness sampler! Learn all about adventure trekking as we
explore the beautiful Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.
This 72,000 acre scenic wilderness will test your resolve and reward
your accomplishments. We will start by backpacking for three days
and two nights on the famous Appalachian Trail. While not the entire
Maine to Georgia route, we are going to trek a truly wild stretch
high atop the ridge of the Kittatinny Mountains. Then we swap boots
for paddles to canoe down the free-flowing Delaware River where
you’ll enjoy fishing, swimming, and camping out on the moonlit
banks each night. Intermediate swim level required.

Join a fantastic adventure through some of the most spectacular
scenery in the region!
The 30 mile West Rim Trail follows Pine Creek Gorge, “the
Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania”. It is known as one of the best
trails in the state and the spectacular vistas look out over the
gorge and the surrounding peaks. For four days we’ll be surrounded
by the wilderness of state forest land and the trail will be our
home as we carry everything we need on our backs. At the end of
the week we’ll drop our packs to bike a flat rail-trail by
the banks of Pine Creek, checking out waterfalls along the way.
Be part of a select group of trekkers exploring forests and peaks
while rediscovering that “wilderness within”.

night. A great wilderness experience for trekkers interested in
canoeing, nature, and having a blast! Intermediate swim level required.

AB’s very popular “ERC” is back again for the
climbing enthusiast and would-be climbing enthusiast! We’ll
begin at base camp learning climbing skills from standard to pro-technical
but most importantly, we’ll learn to become safe and careful
climbers. Once we’ve got the basics down we’ll head
out to the cliffs to practice our skills as a group. We’ll
begin at local Rick’s Rocks and Allamuchy Mountain, increasing
the challenge with each climb. Next, we’ll head up to the
famous Shawangunks in New York where we’ll boulder and get
a chance to see some expert climbers show their stuff. The culmination
of the week is a fantastic route high above the Delaware River.
Our instructors are experienced and eager to help you become a great
climber. Go beyond your standard summer routine and get out there
and go extreme!
