Higher Ground
Private
Higher Ground, USA is a faith-based nonprofit based in Rome that designs outdoor adventure programs for groups - backpacking, climbing, rappelling, caving, paddlesports and challenge courses - across the southeastern United States. Multi-day adventures run out of retreat centers, base campgrounds or entirely in the backcountry, with the organization supplying gear, instructors and logistics. Programs are booked by schools, churches and other groups rather than by individual campers; camper ages, dates and pricing are not published.
The practical details
We list only what the camp itself publishes, and programs change — dates, prices, ages and availability can all move after we check. Confirm the details on the camp’s own website and contact Higher Ground directly before you register or pay. Last checked August 2026.

★★★★★Eliana HiranoHigher Ground organizes the most fun outdoors activities! I have gone rock climbing with them a couple of times. Each time, they are very professional, being attentive to all safety measures. Their staff is also very friendly and a joy to spend the day with. They do a wonderful job with children as well -- my daughter was about 11 years old the first time I took her rock climbing. I highly recommend them!
