Here you’ll find guides and instructors who are ambassadors to the the outdoors, with one foot in New York City and one foot in the Catskills at all times.

We’ve climbed every peak, explored every trail, found the hidden ponds where trout laze in the sun, the toughest peaks for the ultimate adventurers, and the off-trail paradises filled with wildflowers and swimming holes.

Whatever you’re hoping to find in the outdoors—respite from the city, a change of pace from your morning run, a breathe of fresh mountain air—we want to help you find it and learn how to do it yourself. This is our passion, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
