10 Classes & Workshops in United States That You Shouldn't Miss

December 3, 2021 Roger Rusk

Spanning 2,800 miles (4,506 kilometers) from east to west, the US is a vast patchwork of landscapes and metropolises. From Arizona’s red-rocked canyons and California’s coastal beaches to New York’s big city and Virginia’s storied past, it covers any topic any traveler could want or need.

We had Wes Fowler for 2 days of multi-pitch guided climbs. The first day was Pear Butress on Lumpy Ridge and the second was Petit Grepon. Wes was fantastic. He definitely pushed us outside our comfort zones, took the time to teach us the techniques we needed to have for the climbs, and was very safety oriented during the entire time. We would definitely have him guide us again in the future. Thanks Wes.

I'm sided to attend this golf Academy after doing extensive research on all of the golf schools in the greater Myrtle Beach area. I was more than impressed with the level of attention they give each student and they were able to do a ton with my golf swing. I look forward to returning and another year I have them evaluate my Swain then after I put in place what they have taught me. I noticed on my 1st round after the Academy I was hitting the ball about 20 yd longer so I have to re learn how to hit my clubs which is a good problem to have since they are on the fairway now. I highly recommend this golf school

Palmetto Dunes Tennis & Pickleball Center

The Palmetto Dunes Tennis & Pickleball Center is ranked the #1 tennis resort in the Carolinas by Tennis Magazine and is currently ranked in the top 25 in the world by Tennis Resorts Online. Featuring 21 (four courts are lighted for night play) clay tennis courts and 16 pickleball courts (all lighted for night play), the Palmetto Dunes Tennis & Pickleball center is open year round and the staff consists of the area's top pros who offer lessons and clinics to those of all ages and skill levels. Enjoy seasonal activities and the island's largest tennis pro shop at the Palmetto Dunes Tennis & Pickleball Center.

Reviewed By GRP - Brookline, United States

Other reviews have described how good the lessons, clinics, and round robins are. What hit me was the totality: Palmetto Dunes has everything you could want for pickleball. 24 courts, lights, top players to watch, beginner clinics, huge baskets of balls, a stocked pro shop. (You do not need to stay at Palmetto Dunes to take advantage of any of these offerings, though PD has gorgeous accommodations.) We had clinics and lessons with Jamie, Sarah Mitten, Sarah Ansboury and Noah, and loved every moment of them. Lots of 4.5 players and lots of 3.0 players so something for everyone. Using our past travels to tennis resorts as a guide, I don’t believe there is anything Palmetto Dunes needs to add. For me, it is the top pickleball center in the US. We will be back next year for sure.

AMAZING!! Great for kids of all ages, safety for me was not an issue. Everything was explained very thoroughly when we went in, all staff helpful and kind. My 9 and 11 year old had an amazing time!! Also, very affordable with it costing $24 a child including shoes and safety harness! It's also a day pass, so if you go in the morning, you can go back later the same day! Drinks available, did not see food, so leaving for lunch to rest your hands is a total bonus! Kids had so much fun, which of course made for a very happy mama!!

Wow this company is just filled with such welcoming and kind individuals! They really wanted to make sure each person was having fun. We went on a day that was a bit choppy out and they said if we felt uncomfortable or wanted to reschedule it was no problem at all! They cared about our well being and I learned to stand on the surf board first day! Coming back for sure.

Aurora Dora

When It's Dark, I See the Lights! I relocated from Brazil to Alaska in 2001 and have been chasing and photographing Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) ever since. I never heard about the Northern Lights before I moved to Alaska. The first time I saw them it was love at first sight. That was it! From there on I knew what I wanted to do, I wanted to share the Auroras with the world and show them to everyone who doesn't have the opportunity to see the Northern lights. That's what I have been doing since. From long and cold nights photographing amazing auroras through the skies, and teaching northern lights photography workshops, to the summers explaining and showing the auroras to the ones that are not able to visit Alaska in the winters. I am a photographer in Alaska, living the dream life of many photographers. Many of my images were published by NASA, Space Weather Live, Washington Post, space.com, Nature Photographer Magazine, Society of Nature Photographers, just to name a few.

Like most of Talkeetna, the shop is plain and unassuming on the outside. The photos inside and a hidden gem. Dora has taken some of the most beautiful photos on the aurora, all with other interesting subjects in the picture. A float plane, an old truck, a mountain, or a tree all add to the incredible shapes and colors of the aurora displayed behind or above them. The metal prints are beautiful, but the photo versions are equally lovely.

Granite Arch Climbing Center

Granite Arch offers a wide variety of indoor climbing experiences for people of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re into bouldering, top roping or lead climbing, you will find plenty of room to go vertical on over 20,000 square feet of wall area. We also have five TRUBLUE auto belay units in case your partner is late or you’re trying to sneak in a lunch time climbing workout.

The staff was friendly and the gym much larger than we'd expected. I live two hours away and am going to make a point to schedule in some extra time when I do "city trips" to put in a few hours here. Definitely a ton of fun with plenty of options for climbing. Suggestions for someone with small children: I took my 5 year old niece climbing here. She freaked out at first when trying the auto belay. She only would get 2 feet up and say it was too hard. She started crying. We thought, "Ok, this isn't for her and were about to leave." (The staff had said prior that if if didn't work out that they'd be happy to refund our day passes.) We thought we'd give the bouldering area a quick try before giving up. She felt more comfortable there and took to it right away. I think the tall walls in the main area may have been intimidating for her. So we played in the boulder area for a while...and then moved back to the taller walls that have the belay. She had found her confidence and we spent the next two hours there. It was a great experience for her and good confidence builder for a timid child.

At my trial-class, the warm welcome I received from non-judgey staff & other members immediately set me at ease. There are members of all shapes, ages, sizes, fitness levels. The community of support & encouragement is unprecedented! Staffing ratio is great - all the personal attention & support I could ask for, without the huge price tag of personal trainers at other gyms. I've had gym memberships before, but never actually WANTED to go. With every class my energy & stamina increase, I'm learning new technique, and making new friends. Now I can't wait to get to my next class - it's fun and addictive!
