Summer Climbing Camp for Teens

Welcome to a week of high-energy exploration where the floor is lava and the walls are meant for scaling! This camp is designed for teens who love to move, play, and challenge themselves. Bouldering is rock climbing stripped down to the essentials-no ropes, no harnesses, just short climbs over thick, squishy mats. It’s the ultimate way for kids to build strength and confidence while having a total blast. Although this is primarily a bouldering camp, rope skills will be introduced by our expert coach to get teens familiar with useful rope systems.

Monday to Thursday Indoor climbing at the College of the Rockies, Climbing Gym and Friday’s, climbing outside at a location to be determined.

Parents to drive teens to and from climbing site, approximately a 20 minute drive to site.
