Northern Lights Rock and Ice believes in empowering individuals and groups to learn and grow through experiential challenges. They seek to develop and harness the human desire to climb, to go to places just beyond your comfort zone, to explore and take risks, to push the boundaries of what you thought was possible as a means of growth in confidence, achievement, teamwork, trust, leadership ability, communication, self-efficacy and self discovery.

The mission of Northern Lights Rock and Ice is to provide a universally accessible, world-class outdoor challenge course, rock and ice climbing, recreation, team building and leadership development serving families, companies, students, athletes and people of all ages and abilities.

The means are their expert instructors and facilitators working with families, individuals, and groups to craft your learning experience.
