Looking for a summer camp that keeps kids active, engaged, and maybe just a little obsessed with climbing? Movement’s climbing summer camps are designed for kids who love to move, explore, and challenge themselves in new ways. Whether they’re brand new to climbing or already scaling everything in sight, our youth climbing camps offer the perfect mix of structured instruction, exciting challenges, and all-out fun.
What to Expect at Our Climbing Summer Camps
Climbing is more than just getting to the top, problem-solving, building confidence, and pushing past limits. Our camps give kids the space to learn, grow, and have a blast while they’re at it.
Each session includes:
- Climbing every day – Kids will learn new techniques, tackle different types of walls, and gain a solid foundation in climbing movement.
- Games and challenges – Because learning is always better when it’s fun. Expect obstacle courses, skill-based challenges, and creative activities off the wall to keep things fresh. A perfect blend of activities to keep any kid engaged all day long
- Confidence-building and teamwork – Climbing isn’t just about individual progress! It’s all about encouraging each other, working through challenges, and celebrating every small win. This camaraderie builds awesome community and friendships that could last a lifetime.
- Expert instruction in a safe environment – Our coaches know how to make climbing accessible and fun while teaching safety, technique, and problem-solving.
For first-time climbers, our rock climbing camp introduces the basics in a welcoming environment. More experienced climbers will get the chance to refine their skills, push their limits, and try new styles of climbing.
Why Climbing is the Ultimate Summer Activity
There are a lot of summer activities for kids, but climbing brings something special to the table. It’s a full-body workout that doesn’t feel like exercise, a confidence boost disguised as a puzzle, and a way to keep kids engaged without screens. Plus, it’s just plain fun.
Climbing challenges both the body and mind, helping kids develop strength, coordination, and problem-solving skills in a way that feels like play. Every climb is an opportunity to build resilience—learning to fall, reset, and try again fosters confidence that carries over into all aspects of life. While climbing is an individual sport, it thrives on community. Kids set their own goals, but they’ll be surrounded by an encouraging group that celebrates every success. And with fresh challenges every day, climbing keeps kids engaged, moving, and having fun all summer long—an adventure-packed alternative to traditional sports camps.
