    KIDZ CLIMB CAMP

    Dates: 2019 DATES TBA
    Price: $125

    In this popular camp (in its 13th year!) your child will get to climb Donner Summit’s classic granite. Whether beginner or intermediate they’ll thrive, grow, and reach “new heights” during this course led by NASTC’s top guides. Students begin with an equipment orientation, learn how to use their climbing slippers well, and familiarize themselves with a couple climbing knots. We keep groups 5:1, and kids climb a bunch! We break for water and lunch, but try to get them on the rock as much as possible!  Join us!!

    Climbing is a sport that helps a child’s focus, self-esteem, self-reliance, coordination, and decision-making abilities. It provides very tangible, in-the-moment goals, and in that way, allows a great feeling of accomplishment. It is an individual sport that gives children solo time to process alone, but it is also a “team sport,” where kids work with their guide for safety and success and cheer each other on as each child attempts to reach their goals.  Safety is #1 every step of the way. Children climb with state-of-the-art equipment and every safety precaution is taken. Fun is #2! And there is lots of it! Coming away with new found skills and an introduction into a new way to experience the outdoors is #3. These are our priorities and goals for your child!

    Enroll soon, this one often fills early.
