The York Grotto is a local chapter (an Internal Organization) of the National Speleological Society (NSS). We consist mostly of cavers from the York-Lancaster-Harrisburg area, but welcome cavers from anywhere. We are committed to the study, enjoyment and preservation of caves.
We conduct hands-on training and field trips to orient new members to the equipment, safety procedures, methods and precautions necessary for the successful exploration and conservation of these limited and fragile natural resources. We have a library of cave related books, publications, and maps. We have a long history of working with youth groups, Venture Crews, and BSA Troops.
Our meetings, which typically start with a caving-related program or presentation, are open to anyone interested in caving. Please join us at 6:00 p.m. the last Tuesday of most months.
The York Grotto will hold our October 27th meeting at 7pm at Indian Echo Caverns.
Located at: 368 Middletown Rd, Hummelstown, PA 17036
The York Grotto will hold our November 24th meeting at 6pm at Hoss’s Steak and Sea House. Come earlier for food! We will also be holding our annual grotto fundraising auction at the meeting. Bring something to sell and cash to take something home!
Located at: 61 Gettysburg Pike, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055
