Climbing, confidence, and fun for young adventurers!

Summit Camp introduces youth climbers to the exciting world of rock climbing through games, challenges, and skill-building activities. Designed for kids ages 11+, this camp welcomes both new and returning climbers, offering a fun and supportive environment where they can build strength, coordination, and confidence on the wall.

Campers will set personal goals, learn important climbing techniques, and develop a sense of teamwork and responsibility. Each session includes instruction in basic climbing safety, knot tying, and belaying for those who demonstrate maturity, focus, and readiness. Activities are age-appropriate and designed to keep kids engaged while learning valuable skills.

Whether it’s your child’s first time on the wall or they’ve been climbing for years, our experienced staff will guide them through a rewarding experience filled with movement, encouragement, and discovery.

**Please note the following:

Our climbing camps should not be viewed as ongoing or developmental programs. We highlight this to ensure kids and parents understand that each week is a fresh start and the curriculum resets. However, climbing is a continuous learning process, and kids who enjoy building on their skills may benefit from multiple weeks of camp. Parents and kids who are interested in a developmental program can add their child to our Climbing Club and Team waitlist.

Those interested in joining our Club and Team Programs must have taken at least one session of After-School or Summer Climbing Camp or have prior climbing experience elsewhere.

Touchstone Climbing is dedicated to making youth climbing programs affordable for all families. Our Access to Climbing (ATC) Program offers discounts to families on Government Assistance. To learn more, please visit our Commitment Programs page.
