We strive to educate cavers on the proper basic techniques as well as the proper treatment of caves and it's natural surroundings. We have to keep in mind that future generations depend on us for the use of these caves, and if we don't take care of them who will. Always remember to never break off formations, ask permission from a landowner before entering a cave, tell someone when and where you are going. The most important thing is to always have the proper cave gear at all times. These rules could save your life as well as the others around you.
Conservation of caves is our main priority and the safety of others.
We frequently have grotto cave trips,cleanups, and maintenance of cave registers, as well as finding new caves. Caving can be fun as long as you respect it for what it's for, but if you don't take things seriously while caving it can seriously injure or kill you. The Spencer Mountain Grotto was formed by a group of local NSS members in the area. It was formed in 1995 by 3 cavers who ran across each other outside a local cave. They decided that this area needed a place for cavers in the surrounding counties to have a place to meet and find out about the underground world.
