Rock Climbing

Beginners and experienced climbers alike are challenged by 70 foot rock faces, and learn techniques for climbing, belaying and rappelling from our specialized rock climbing instructors.

We are extremely lucky to have access to four climbing areas so there is a great variety of climbing options. Donation Rocks Climbing Area is located adjacent to camp and offers a variety of levels of climbing options from 5.4 (easy) to 5.12 (difficult). We feel so blessed to have such amazing climbing right here at SMA! Because we have so many climbing options, rock climbing is offered almost every day at SMA! We provide climbing harnesses, helmets & specialized climbing shoes & you supply the sense of adventure. We even do a rock climbing overnight each session which is a great opportunity to hone your climbing skills & hang with fellow climbers. If you rock climbing is something you have interest in or something you are passionate about, Stone Mountain Adventures is the camp for you!

Mountain Biking

Whether you desire to bike on roads alongside beautiful Amish farmlands, rally through miles of single track trails, or take advantage of the shady Rails-to-Trails path which winds along a cool river, this area offers some of the best biking conditions in the Eastern United States. With the development of the Allegrippis trail by the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA), this area has become a mecca for mountain biking. Feel free to bring your own bike if you are partial to it, or leave it at home and try one of our many 21-speed mountain bikes, ready for use. We also offer Mountain Biking Overnights out at the Allegrippis trail!

We also offer a biking program for campers who want to take advantage of our proximity to the Allegrippis Trail & ride almost every day, we call this the Mountain Bike Masters Program. Click Here to learn more about the Mountain Bike Masters Program!

Camping Overnights

We offer Overnight Camping Trips out of camp for groups of 8-10 campers! Each overnight camping trip has a focus, including:

• Hiking
• Canoeing
• Wakeboarding
• Mountain Biking
• Rock Climbing
• Backpacking

Overnights are usually offered two times a week and often we will have two or three overnights out at a time. Overnights last about 24 hours, you will depart camp after lunch on the first day (afternoon activity time) and return for lunch the following day (morning activity time). You will spend the afternoon of the first day and the morning of the second day doing your activity, help prepare a hearty dinner & breakfast around a campfire & help set up & break down our camp site. S’mores, games, ghost stories and sleeping under the stars with your friends make this one of camp’s most popular activities.

Horseback Riding

We offer a complete riding program with three instructors, a riding ring, one outdoor course, and many miles of wooded trails. All aspects of horsemanship are covered, from learning to comfortably sit atop a horse to instruction for dressage. All campers will have the opportunity to ride during the summer.

If you are serious about learning to ride, our Horsemaster Program is just what you are looking for!  Click Here to learn more about our Horsemasters Program.

Hiking

With literally hundreds of miles of hiking near camp we take the opportunity to go explore the natural world.

Our hiking destinations include:

• Old Growth Forests
• Waterfalls
• Historic Sites
• Rivers Hikes
• Scenic Vistas

Caving

Also know as Spelunking, our guides and experienced cavers safely lead us through refreshingly cool underground worlds to discover the breathtaking formations which have taken hundreds upon thousands of years for nature to create. You must experience this journey through one of the Mother Nature’s most unseen creations.
