School Field Trips & Youth Climbing Camps in Estes Park
Dear Friends and Educators,
38 years ago, KMAC Guides (formerly Kent Mountain Adventure Center) began with a mission: “To promote personal growth in young people through outdoor adventure.” Today, we remain the premier choice for school field trips and youth climbing camps in the Rocky Mountains.
Experiential Education for School Groups & Youth Organizations
Now more than ever, young people need the space to “look inward.” Our outdoor education programs are designed as an “adventure of introspection,” led by the best AMGA-accredited guides in the industry. We don’t just teach climbing; we provide a skilled guide and mentor who allows students to explore their potential in a safe, supportive environment.
Our Approach: Growth Through Professional Rock Climbing Instruction
At KMAC, we meet students on their own terms. Whether we are hosting a large school group or an elite youth climbing camp, our approach sets us apart:
Safety-First Curriculum: As an AMGA-accredited business, our programs adhere to the highest industry standards for risk management.
Unconditional Positive Regard: We value who our students are, nudging them just outside their comfort zones.
Integrity-Based Leadership: We use role modeling to teach the importance of heart-led decision-making for our future leaders.
