Summer Camps 2025 (ages 11-17)
The Pacific Edge Summer Camp program is intended to create a fun and inviting experience for youth new to climbing! The primary goal of the Summer Camp program is to produce safe and conscious climbers. In this program, students will set goals for themselves and work with our qualified instructors to accomplish their goals. Students will learn how to efficiently use their mind and body through basic movement, balance. and resting techniques while building their strength and endurance as a climber. By the end of the course, all students will be able to put on their own harnesses, tie in as a climber, recite belay commands, and perform safety checks. Hopefully, the skills and lessons learned in this course will remain with the kids, whether or not they continue climbing, and apply them to all aspects of life.
All participants must have a waiver signed by parent or guardian!
When signing up, please create the account for your child.
Enrollment will open on 04/01/2025 at 7pm
Financial Aid - Some financial aid is available for qualified climbers. Please contact Cedric or Oscar for details.
