The Windy City Grotto is an internal organization of the National Speleological Society.
We are dedicated to the exploration, preservation, and conservation of the
subterranean ecosystem. Our membership includes individuals at all experience
levels. We welcome anyone who is concerned with the conservation and care of
these fragile cave environments, and who wish to pursue a safe and rewarding
caving experience.
