Spring break and summer break are coming up! Are you ready for some climbing fun? CityROCK’s 4-day camps might be the perfect match for those aged 6-14 who have a new or developing interest in rock climbing. Choose the morning 9 AM-12 PM OR afternoon 12:30 PM-3:30 PM sessions. (There will be lots of climbing during the 12 hours of camp — if your child is a brand new climber, you may consider signing up for a single day session first.)
Through sport climbing, bouldering, and spelunking in our unique cave classroom, CityROCK’s 4-Day climbing camp offers your young climbers a unique spring break experience. Along with learning the basics of climbing culture and technique, they will have opportunity to grow in teamwork, hone their problem-solving skills, and challenge their own fears and strengths. CityROCK’s coach-led activities will allow the participants to build on their experiences each day at camp. Whether your child is new to climbing or is already familiar, CityROCK’s 4-Day climbing camp can meet them in their climbing journey.
CityROCK’s single day climbing camp might be the perfect solution for squeezing in some climbing adventure into your busy spring break! In this single session of coach-led climbing activities, your child will have the opportunity to sport climb, boulder, and spelunk their way through our unique cave classroom. Specially designed for children ages 6-14, CityROCK’s Climbing Camp can meet your child in their climbing journey. Choose either the morning 9 AM-12 PM session OR the afternoon 12:30 PM-3:30 PM session.
All participants need to have a current waiver with CityROCK for participation in climbing camps. Please use this link to complete a waiver for your child before registering for climbing camp.
