Climbing camps provide youth with a unique opportunity to build confidence, strength, and problem-solving skills in a fun and supportive environment. Our camps—offered during winter, school breaks, and summer—focus on teaching valuable climbing techniques, encouraging teamwork, and fostering a love for adventure.
With experienced instructors and engaging activities, participants develop both physically and mentally while making lasting friendships. Whether they are new to climbing or looking to enhance their skills, our camps offer an exciting way for youth to stay active and challenged all year round.
Summer Camps
Campers of all experience levels will learn essential rock climbing skills and techniques while enjoying all the classic summer camp fun—snacks, crafts, and games included. Our camps blend youth-focused instruction with exciting activities that keep kids engaged, challenged, and eager to return for more. Designed to instill courage, confidence, and problem-solving abilities, we ensure each camper feels supported as they push their limits in a fun and safe environment.

Comp wall update! 🚨
Picture 1: Comp wall routes will now be taped with four point starts, this indicates where any combination of your hands and feet are supposed to be before you begin your climb. Grade tags will also be placed on the wall or “bay” the climb is on rather than marking the start.
Picture 2&3: Boulders will also have taped sone holds, in a competition this is a marked hold in the middle of the route that climbers can get points for without topping the boulder.
As always if you have any questions see a staff member.🤘🏼

Offering a program like this requires the entire community to believe in it for it to be sustainable. We can’t do it without your help!
Our Open Door Program is a tool designed to grow the climbing community by making climbing more accessible.
You love climbing. Share it if you can. Consider becoming a DOOR OPENER!
All it takes is a one-time $50 donation or a $5 add-on to your monthly membership fee.
Door Openers are the key to helping us at 5.Life reduce as many barriers as possible and make climbing available to everyone.
They also get a pretty gnarly t-shirt😎
Swipe for more information on how to help, and the impact the Open Door Program has had in our community.
