About Non-Profit Group Trips

Non-profit groups can enjoy a full or half day of climbing on the beautiful cliffs of Devil’s Lake State Park in Baraboo, Wisconsin.  All gear and rock climbing instruction is included. Your school, scouts, or church groups will have the opportunity to enjoy all that Apex, and nature, has to offer. All full day trips begin at 9:00 am and end at 3:00 pm.

Be prepared to show non-profit status when booking.

Cost is $80/climber for a group of 5-9, and $75/climber for a group of 10 or more.

Half Day Option

Half day option is also available for groups of 20 or more. If you have a group of 20 or more and you are on a tighter budget, our half day may be the way to go.  The half day option is from 9am-1pm.  Sorry, no rappelling can be requested for these trips.  For booking, please contact us or call 608-434-3360.

Half Day: 20+ climbers = $65 per climber

What’s Included in a Non-Profit Group Trip?

You choose your own date and we provide the instruction with an emphasis on safety at all times. All gear (helmet, harness, shoes, belay devices) are provided but you can bring your own if you wish. Rappelling and Girl Scout / Boy Scout badge work available for full day only upon request.

Follow these links for more information about the day and what to bring.

3-5 days prior to your rock climbing adventure, we will send a confirmation email to you.  We’ll choose the best climbing location for your group based on weather, group dynamics, group size, etc. The meetup location and details will be included in this confirmation email. Please make note of these details!

Each rock climbing group is unique and we specially cater to the needs of every individual group. Though we try our best to plan ahead, at times we may encounter unforeseen circumstances. Apex reserves the right to change any information regarding adventures to best serve clients during these circumstances in open groups.

When I’ve earned this badge, I’ll know how to go on a multi-day outdoor adventure trip with friends and Girl Scout sisters.

Follow these steps for your Devil’s Lake Rock Climbing Adventure Badge!
1. Have a desire to rock climb, contact Apex to choose a date and get details. We will help you get out of your comfort zone, but also manage your risk.
2.  Get other girls hyped up on the idea of climbing as an adventure, possibly paired with camping, rappelling, swimming, exploring, etc. at Devil’s Lake.
3. Apex provides education on this– starting with the what to bring gear list and then working through the day to understand how the ropes are constructed, set-up, harness information, and getting into some of the more technical gear.
4.  Learn about “Leave No Trace” principles, volunteer for the park, or just do your part in cleaning up trash you see in the most used park in Wisconsin.
5. Photos, videos, tell your friends! etc!
