About me
Hey! My name is Sam. I am a rock climber, guide, and overall adventurer from New Hampshire. I was born in Massachusetts but moved to New Hampshire to be closer to nautre and all the fun things I like to do. I am currently a college student studying Adventure Education at Plymouth State University. Through Adventure Education, I found my passion for guiding and teaching. This being my second season working as a guide, I am excited to share what I know about the activities I love. Obviously I love climbing, but I also love hiking, backpacking, paddeling, and just having fun outside. And I absolutely love sharing that passion and enjoyment I find outdoors with others!

I took my three kids (7, 10, and 12) rock climbing on our recent trip to Acadia. We are all novice climbers and our guides, Annie and Sam were EXCELLENT. We had so much fun, we booked a second trip the next afternoon! Unfortunately my husband had to miss out on our climbs this trip, and as a mom "single-parenting" three busy kids literally on top of a cliff, I truly cannot say enough about how safe I felt we were at all times. Annie and Sam were calm, kind, funny, and on point the whole time. Everyone had fun, including ME! The climbs they took us to were so beautiful, and challenging-but-accessible for all four us, with different abilities levels and feelings about heights:). One of my kids really had to work through some fear, and Annie and Sam were so wonderful with her. By the end of the second day, she repelled off a cliff over the ocean! She was so dang proud of herself, and their coaching helped get her there. I'm sure all of the guides are excellent, but we will be requesting Annie and Sam the next time we are in town! And parents, if you have a group larger then 4 and if it's in your budget, I highly recommend paying for a 2nd guide. You get to experience twice the number of climbs.

We had such an amazing time! Sam and Calvin were so knowledgeable and patient, giving us great tips and guiding us through the rock climbing experience (it was the first time for many of us too!). Our climbing spot had great views and they customized the experience to our group to help us ease in and feel comfortable. Highly recommend!

We had a great experience with Atlantic climbing school. Calvin and Sam were knowledgeable and friendly. They did a fantastic job making our more nervous family members feel comfortable while challenging those of us who were ready for more adventure. Kids and adults all had a great time!

We had a blast climbing with Sam and Kincaid! They kept us safe, taught us a lot about climbing and were just fun to be with! We'll definitely be climbing with Atlantic Climbing School again next time we're in Maine!
