Rock Climbing

There is nothing like the feeling of exhilaration from scaling a wall of granite! In climbing camp, you learn the fundamentals of rope systems, movement on rock, and safety procedures to climb, belay, and rappel.

Starting off with easy climbs to build your confidence, your instructors set the ropes on progressively challenging routes. Individually, you climb, finding hand and footholds, to ascend a rift in the wall. But you are not doing this alone. It requires precise communication and teamwork with your belayer (the person feeding the rope from below).


This is a "challenge by choice" activity, meaning you can do as much or as little climbing as you like. You also have the opportunity to belay your friends, providing them support and encouragement as they climb.
