TEEN ROCK CAMP (AGES 13-18)
This camp is suitable for co-ed teens age 13-18 who are new to climbing as well as those who are totally addicted to it. We'll lay a solid foundation of climbing skills with an emphasis on decision making skills and exercising sound judgment. RockCampers will learn to advance their climbing technique, knowledge of gear and equipment, and the importance of ethics, teamwork, problem-solving, and trust.
Teen Rock Camp curriculum includes climbing skills such as knots, belaying, rappelling, and mock-lead climbing with the safety of back-up top rope. RockCampers will also learn valuable outdoor skills such as camping, cooking, water treatment, Leave No Trace practices, leadership and natural history.
Campers spend the week camping out under the stars at our local campground which has hot showers, flush toilets and running water. On the first day of camp, you'll set up your tent once at our basecamp, and then branch out to a new climbing area everyday from there. You'll need to bring a good tent with a rain fly and your personal camping equipment (we'll email you a full list of equipment you'll need). Campers take turns cooking meals for the group and sharing in camp-life responsibilities. The evenings are spent sharing climbing stories around a campfire with s'mores. Tall tales are guaranteed.
Return and Experienced First Time Campers Ages 16-18 are encouraged to apply for our Junior Counselor positions. They will have the added responsibility of mentoring the younger campers and helping with facilitating the group experience throughout the week. Please inquire if you are interested in one of these positions.
