Climbing Camps
Vertical Endeavors Rock Climbing Camp offers children ages 8 to 17 the opportunity to learn proper climbing techniques in a controlled and fun atmosphere. In addition to our focus on fun, all of our camps promote awareness and understanding of climbing safety.
In addition to their passion for climbing, all Vertical Endeavors instructors must go through an in-depth training program prior to instructing any of our day camp programs. Our instructors bring years of knowledge to the table in both the art of climbing movement and the technical know-how of rope and anchor systems. Above all, our instructors' goal is to provide a fun, educational, and memorable experience for each camper and help them to achieve personal goals in a supportive and controlled environment.
SUMMER CAMPS

High Summit Adventure – Ages 14-17
Learn fundamentals of advanced climbing and rope management skills that could be used in indoor or outdoor climbing, during rescues, or on longer climbs. Activities for this program include daily technique and movement classes designed to bring your climbing skills to the next level as well as a variety of mini-clinics meant to advance your rope management skills and your technical knowledge. Participants will experience lead climbing and lead belaying in either a simulated or real setting which will be determined by the climbing abilities of the overall group. The week will culminate in a vertical obstacle course where the members of your group will put the skills you've learned throughout the week to use in this special group challenge. Bring a sack lunch and drink Monday through Thursday. A pizza party will take place on Friday.
Note: A prerequisite for this program is that you must be able to pass a belay test on the first day of camp. If your belay skills are rusty or you're new to climbing, sign up for a Basic Safety Lesson before the start of camp and take $10 off (regularly $30).
