summer camps

On belay! This is the perfect camp for the next generation of climbers in the community!  In Ground School Camp, new climbers learn injury prevention, knot tying, climbing and belay safety.  Each camp day climbers learn the fundamentals to climbing and develop a firm foundation for footwork.  The climbers take part in daily stretching, yoga and body movement exercises for climbing and challenge themselves daily in bouldering and top rope climbing. In this theme-week of camp, the ground work for self-confidence is gained through collective team building, climbing games, problem-solving activities and even art projects! Join in the fun!
