Who's This For?

For ages 6 - 14, each session is structured, active fun while learning the sport of climbing!

This camp will introduce campers to the basics of climbing equipment, technique and terminology while developing creative problem-solving skills, self-reliance, and persistence.

Climbers of all experience and ability levels are welcome. Activities are tailored to the ability level of the campers. Campers are encouraged to move at their own pace and pursue their area of interest within the planned activities.

Mini Competition

Each camp session will conclude with a friendly climbing competition. This mini comp will give campers the chance to apply all the new things they learned during the week.

The mini comp will include challenges for each camper to participate in and will cover climbing knowledge, technical skills as well as climbing ability. Campers will earn scores that are tallied up throughout the summer.
