Summer Camp
Summer camp registration is now open. You can view all the information and the available weeks online by Clicking Here. This is the same successful camp we run every year. The camp introduces your child to the wonderful sport of rock climbing. Throughout the week long session, participants learn the proper method of belaying in a safe and controlled atmosphere. They will get to play fun and exciting games and learn about all the aspects of the climbing world. On one of the days, the campers climb outside at Great Falls National Park in Virginia (weather permitting).

This year we are also running an advanced summer camp for those who have taken our summer camp before or who have more climbing experience. This camp requires that the participant be able to show competent belaying skills. The advanced summer camp will teach the participants some of the history of the sport of rock climbing, how to climb more efficiently, and much, much more. Choose the camp that best suits your child's needs and sign up today.
