Classes & Experiences
You don’t need to be hardcore to love the outdoors. We celebrate the kind of adventures where the snacks matter just as much as the summit.
Wilderness Survival
(Not the apocolypse kind)
In Wilderness Survival 1 you will learn how to build a weather appropriate shelter using the tools you carry with you, basic knots, fire building, various water treatment methods and more.
In Wilderness Survival 2 you will learn how to build a primitive structure with only materials you find, collect water from plants and the ground, signaling and navigating when lost.
Day Hikes
(It’s okay to do it for the snacks)
From hiking for beginners to section hiking the AT. We offer both classes and group outings! Get outside and make new friends!
Starlight Hikes
(Not a Jordan Peele movie)
Enjoy an evening out that doesn’t involve waiting in line at the bar or long term hearing loss with a sunset hike and a view of the stars!
Curated Hikes
(curated: a word which here means… WHATEVER YOU WANT!)
Enjoy a custom hike designed by the Geeks around your groups needs! From romantic sunset hikes with a picnic summit (we offer EXCELLENT picnic add-ons), to week long backpacking trips where we do the planning and prep for you!
