Our 8 week course is primarily offered through the Berrien Springs Partnership. Students of the Niles Partnership are also encouraged to register.

Other benefits of this course are:

• Physical and mental conditioning

Many students who have been searching for a fitness activity and have not engaged fully with the mainstream sports come to find that this is a perfect fit for their personalities. Rock climbing is a focused, yet free spirited activity, that allows students to explore body movements unlike other sports - with an adrenaline rush that keeps them feeling adventurous.
