Outdoor Climbing Camp

Once basic skills such as tying in with the rope, movement and belaying are mastered, climbers are ready to look towards more advanced skills*.

The Outdoor Climbing Camp is five days long and designed for participants all abilities who are excited for climbing and interested in learning more.

Skills like rappelling, tying a variety of knots and hitches, belaying and climbing movement are taught in this program.

All five days are spent outside where new skills can be applied. The week will include as much rock climbing as possible, but will allow one day for a hike and some swimming at the beach (only when a life guard is on duty) at Lake Minnewaska. The actual schedule of activites will fluctuate to take the most advantage of the weather. Rainy day** activities can include; rappelling, hiking, navigation, or indoor climbing.

Limited to a maximum of 12 participants, 2 participants minimum required.

*please understand this is a group program and while we will work to increase participants skill level, the days will be catered to meet the needs of the entire group. If you’re looking for something specifically catered to your child, or a child who is a strong climber, you may want to consider a private outing.

** while we will plan on being out for rain, if there are concerns for thunderstorms, we have the right to cancel the day
