One of our specialties at KMAC is to combine custom course elements with an experiential educational curriculum for public and private schools at all grade levels.  Combining hands-on adventure with thoughtful group processing, these programs develop self-esteem, self-confidence and evaluative skills in young people.  Educators often call on us to create alternative learning experiences for their students.  Many of our one-day classes can be taught at your school or a local park. There's no need for travel.

Rock Climbing and Rappelling   
We use many different sites for this all day activity along the Front Range and in Estes Park.  Rock climbing and rappelling offer a challenging, exciting and fun experience for students. It is an exceptional team building activity where it is imperative that students focus and trust each other. Learn more

Orienteering (Map and Compass)
This activity is an all day event. It begins with a map and compass lesson where participants will gain a working knowledge of map and compass skills.  The group is then given their “mission” on what they are about to do.  Learn more

Snow School
This all day activity takes place high in the mountains. Instruction will include snow climbing techniques; ascending and descending slopes, self-arrest techniques, beginner glissading, use of an ice axe, ropes climbing and basic snow safety. Learn more

Peak Ascents
An early start begins this day in order to summit a 13,000 ft peak. Topics covered throughout the day include mountain weather forecasting, proper clothing, food and hydration, environmental awareness, pacing and group cooperation. This is altogether a fun, energizing, and exhilarating experience in the Rocky Mountains. Learn more
