Take Nothing But Pictures...Leave Nothing But Footprints...Kill Nothing But Time

Juniata College Grotto Mission Statement:

It is our mission, as an organization within an educational institution, to promote appreciation of karst topography
and natural speleological formations. Through visiting and exploring both local and national karst environments, we strive
to emphasize the close relationship caving has with the geological and environmental sciences. By doing so we hope to
spark interest (either occupational or recreational) in these fields in our members. We also hope to encourage ideals of
awareness of the delicate systems we visit and admire, and to encourage conservation of these resources both in the
college and local communities.
