ems outdoor adventure school
The Eastern Mountain Sports Climbing School was started in Boston in 1968, and currently has 5 major locations and 10 satellite locations throughout the East, making it the oldest and largest climbing school in the eastern U.S. Along with the Climbing School, Eastern Mountain Sports operates a Kayak School, Ski School, Mountain Bike School and International Adventure Travel department (currently planning a 2009 Everest Summit bid). Special programs have also been added to accommodate handicapped and disabled participants. Since the inception of the first school, the mission has been to provide the best outdoor experience possible. The Eastern Mountain Sports Exploration Schools work closely with the American Mountain Guides Association, The American Canoe Association and the Professional Ski Instructors Association. All staff members are engaged in ongoing training for technical topics and specific individual development, as well as ongoing First Aid and Rescue Training. Outdoor activities have been proven to be an effective tool for addressing a variety of challenges: promoting good health and well-being, improving behavioral problems, building healthy relationships and improving morale in the workplace. CT Rock Gym members save 20% on single-day, scheduled group lessons with the Eastern Mountain Sports Schools (Climb, Kayak, Ski, and Trek).

yalemountaineeringclubYale’s outdoor history is long and varied, although for the better part of the last century, the preeminent outdoor organization on Yale’s campus, indeed one of the preeminent outdoor organizations among U.S. universities, was the Yale Mountaineering Club. Today, the YMC continues to promote climbing throughout the Yale community.

newhavenparksandrecThe City of New Haven’s Outdoor Adventure Program, in cooperation with the New Haven Park Rangers, invites you to experience a unique, new, challenging, safe and fun learning experience for children, youth and adults. The focus is on environmental activities designed to enhance nature appreciation, appreciation of local resources to help raise the eco-consciousness as well as the self-confidence levels of the participants. Through progressively more challenging experiences, participants learn team building, cooperation, and conflict resolution. Staff helps teams establish goals that call for planning, group decision-making, task designation, and group action. Meetings before and after the activities create clear communication channels and cooperation. Learn a first-hand understanding of the effects that human activities impose on nature, about natural history and environmentally responsible choices, to engender a sense of care for our natural resources.
