Trip: Course 2: Family Climbing Experience - Half Day
Guide: Michael F.
We had an amazing half day climbing with Mike. The 5 year old and 9 year olds in our group were challenged and got to get a lot of climbing in while feeling safe on the rocks right along the water. The kids (and adults!) said it was the highlight of our trip to Acadia.

Climbing with ACS was a highlight of our trip to Acadia. If we had more time during our stay, I would have booked again. Pitching out over the water with Mike felt safe and fun for me and my kids. We learned a lot about climbing and did a lot of climbing, too. We will definitely be back, thanks, Mike and ACS!

Guide: Sam D.
This was a great experience for 2 young climbers with only previous indoor experience. Sam was a wonderful guide, and especially skilled at working with kids. He set clear safety guidelines and expectations, while making the experience really fun, helping them feel comfortable and confident in the climb.

This was our second trip out with ACS—this time to Otter Cliffs proper, and it was equally fantastic. Despite a small hiccup with equipment, Max was a wonderful, informative, supportive guide. He was great with our boys, teaching them and keeping them focused and entertained while we climbed. He also kindly allowed us to squeeze in a couple more climbs for the boys, going a bit longer than scheduled. This was on top of the fact that ACS kindly rescheduled our climb to the afternoon after a rainy morning.

We went to South Otter Cliffs. Beautiful spot. We and our two boys had a great time. Tom was a wonderful guide. Patient, deliberate, easy-going, and helpful.
