Bozeman Youth Day Camp:

Introduction to Outdoor Rock Climbing

JULY 9-13 / AGES 9 AND UP / $350

 

For the first time ever, Touch the Sky is offering a day program for kids interested in trying outdoor climbing. For this week, climbers will be dropped off at Spire Climbing Center in the morning, go climbing outside all day, and then return to Spire in the afternoon to be picked up by their parents.

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday will all have a similar outline. Touch the Sky will select the most appropriate outdoor climbing areas for the group to visit based on ability level and weather conditions. Wednesday will be a unique day for the group, as they will participate in the challenge course at the Mountain Sky Guest Ranch in Paradise Valley.

This camp will have  a wide emphasis on transitioning from gym climbing to outdoor climbing, technique, rope work, gear usage, and safety. It is a great opportunity for a climber who has always wanted to try climbing outside after climbing a number of times indoors at Spire Climbing Center or another gym environment.
