Looking for a way to fill your child’s summer schedule and help them learn a new skill? Here’s an idea: Try a rock climbing camp at Mesa Rim, where young adventurers can experience rock climbing, learn new skills, make friends, and, of course, have fun.

Camps are offered for children ages 6-13 with activities tailored to each child based on their age and experience level. (Read: Beginners and experts alike are welcome at camp.) Under the guidance of experienced coaches, campers will learn:

  • Basic climbing movement
  • How to tie knots
  • Belaying techniques

They’ll also play fun, mentally challenging games and do arts and crafts, along with other engaging non-climbing activities.

Camps run weekly from Monday, June 5 through Friday, Aug. 11 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. (with extended care available). Choose between a four-day ($320) or five-day ($429) camp. Campers must bring their own lunch and must be at least 6 years old the day camp starts.
