Rock Climbing Summer Camp for Teens in The Gunks: Skills & Adventure

Summer Rock Climbing Camp for Teens: Skills, Adventure, and Fun

Give your teen an unforgettable summer adventure! Our camp, designed for ages 13-17, is for teens excited to climb outside and to start to learn about the technical skills required to climb on their own.  

The core focus of the program is to climb and have fun while providing climbing instruction, risk management strategies and to build confidence along with self-esteem.

The course has three primary components:

1. Climbing and Movement skills 

2. Technical systems, including knots, anchors, belaying, rappelling, and top rope site management

3. Judgment skills, including route-finding, recognizing hazards, and risk management 

Perfect for all experience levels, this camp combines adventure, personal growth, and breathtaking scenery. These are lifelong skills that your teen can take with them, building confidence and a love for the outdoors.   

Programs can also be set up as a Custom Private Day anytime if you prefer not to be matched with others or if the offered group dates don’t work for you. If the whole family wants to come out, check out our Family Days option too.
