Eastern Mountain Sports Schools - (800) 310-4504

Welcome to the Eastern Mountain Sports Schools! Home of the Eastern Mountain Sports Climbing School and Kayak School.

Our dedication to outdoor life starts on the ground. From the beginning, Eastern Mountain Sports has been a vital resource for climbers, mountaineers, adventurers and all those who love the outdoors. Make no mistake, we've been doing it longer and we are the best at what we do.

Eastern Mountain Sports was founded in 1967 in Wellesley Massachusetts by two rock climbers dissatisfied with the poor selection of climbing equipment they found in existing stores. In addition to selling climbing gear, they added a selection of camping equipment in hopes of making money from the hobby that had turned into a viable business.

From this small store outside Boston, Eastern Mountain Sports has grown into one of the nation's leading outdoor specialty retailers, with more than 68 retail stores, and a formidable online presence. The company is now based in Peterborough, New Hampshire.

The Eastern Mountain Sports Climbing School was started in Boston in 1968, and currently has 4 major locations and 7 satellite locations throughout the East, making it the oldest and largest climbing school in the eastern U.S. Along with the Climbing School, Eastern Mountain Sports operates a Kayak School and Ski School. Special programs have also been added to accommodate handicapped and disabled participants. Since the inception of the first School, the mission has been to provide the best outdoor experience possible.

The Eastern Mountain Sports Schools operate climb, kayak and ski instruction throughout the Northeast. We offer programs from beginner to advanced and our outdoor guides are certified by nationally recognized organizations such as AMGA, ACA and PSI. Our headquarters is located in North Conway New Hampshire. For reservations or information call 800-310-4504, email schools@ems.com or visit us on the web www.emsoutdoors.com.
