Welcome to the Paha Sapa Grotto

Your gateway to an underground world of wonder and exploration. The Paha Sapa Grotto is a subchapter of the National Speleological Society (NSS). We are dedicated to fostering a community of caving enthusiasts and adventurers. If you’re ready to embark on unforgettable underground journeys and forge lasting connections with fellow cavers, you’ve come to the right place.

Why Join Paha Sapa Grotto?

  1. Beginner Friendly: If you’ve never been caving, the Grotto is the best place to start.  Caves are very sensitive environments and impacts last for thousands of years.  Cavers are usually willing to share their favorite places with people who put in the effort and whom they learn to trust.  The Grotto is the definitive place to gain access to caves and learn to do it the right way. 
  2. Community and Camaraderie: Join a welcoming community of fellow cavers who share your passion for exploration. Connect with like-minded individuals, forge lasting friendships, and create memories that will last a lifetime both underground and above.
  3. Educational Opportunities: Expand your knowledge of cave geology, conservation, safety practices, and more through our educational workshops, seminars, and training sessions. Learn from experts in the field and develop the skills you need to explore caves responsibly and ethically.
  4. Conservation and Stewardship: As stewards of the underground world, we are committed to preserving and protecting our fragile cave environments for future generations. Join us in our conservation efforts, participate in cave cleanup initiatives, and help promote responsible caving practices within our community.
