Youth Climbing Camps

Train the next generation

Summer Climbing Camps

Every week this summer The Front Climbing Club will offer 5-day camps to keep kids’ bodies and minds active during their vacation. Because our summer camps offer loads of exciting games for those who want to have fun, as well as professional coaching for individuals looking to train, The Front summer camps have something for everyone.

Our summer camps are a week-long adventure of fun, games, activities and friends. Through climbing, kids improve balance and focus while building strength and motor skills. Team-building activities challenge kids to learn cooperation and teamwork. Climbing technique games, like “no hand climbing,” help kids improve their skills and become better climbers. In addition to the fun, campers learn the basics of rock climbing, such as safety protocol, equipment use, problem solving, lingo, and hold/rock types.

Rock climbing emphasizes children’s accomplishments while encouraging social interaction. Climbers cheer each other on as they work together to figure out sequences and unlock problems. The social aspects of climbing allow kids to build real friendships - even more  than other team sports do, because climbers rely on each other for personal safety. Rock climbing is not only a physical activity, but also a mental challenge that teaches kids to push themselves and exceed their own expectations.

Camp tuition is $175/student; this includes equipment, snack, and 5 days of professional instruction. Our camps are designed for kids ages 6-10 and 11-14.

Camps run every week from June 6th-Aug 5th, with morning or afternoon sessions available.

Team Camp

August 6th kicks off our Comp Team Summer Camp, a 3-day camp (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday) combining our Ogden and Salt Lake Front Climbing Teams.  Monday and Tuesday's camp will be at our SLC gym, where we will focus on bouldering; Thursday's camp will be in Ogden, and will emphasize route climbing.  Teams will meet at their home gym and travel together on the Frontrunner to the appropriate location with their coach. (Frontrunner fare is included in camp tuition.)  This camp is a great way to start the fall comp team season. Ages 8-18. For more information please call Coach Maggie at 801-393-ROCK (7625).
