Ground Up Climbing Camp provides kids an opportunity to explore the world of rock climbing in a safe and supportive environment. Campers will learn to belay (control the ropes) along with other basic technical skills, climbing techniques, and enjoy the camaraderie and friendships forged in the mountains. Most days are capped with a cool swim in an alpine lake and fresh water melon.
These camps are best for kids 8 to 14 and run roughly from 8:45 to 3:45 with early drop-off accommodated with advanced notice.
