This is a new feature that we are starting to offer to families, friends, and small groups! If you would like to learn to backpack without having to splurge for all of the gear upfront. We've got something for you. Reach out and let us know what you are looking for!

Conquer gravity! There is nothing quite like the thrill of climbing the side of a mountain. On the Blue Ridge Parkway sits an incredible view with a wonderful beginner's cliff named Ravens Roost. The UMA staff and AMGA certified guides will facilitate a safe and fun environment for your group to conquer the rock as you climb and rappel down it! The 100 foot cliff is not only a great spot for a climbing/ rappelling adventure but also a picturesque spot for those only wanting to cheer their friends on! Every trip you book allows enables us to mentor urban youth while on exciting adventure trips. Thank you for helping us make a difference in their lives!

Conquer the rapids of the James River! This is an excellent trip for families, youth groups, company bonding, troops, and anyone seeking a little more adventure. This section of the James River has just enough white water to challenge your group but it also has a stretch of calm water great for a swim or take on the challenge of Jump Rock. Half way through, the rafts will pull over for a lunch break on a small island for an energy boost before finishing this great river adventure! A trained river rafting guide will aid your group on a 5-mile, day-long adventure, from Glasgow to the Foot Bridge.
