Learn essential climbing techniques
and participate in a mock competition
During this 3-day summer camp, kids will work directly with Team Rock Mill coaches to learn specific competition-style climbing technique and performance mindset. The camp will then end with a mock competition. This summer camp is great for kids 8-18 with climbing experience who are interested in getting into competitive climbing or who already have competition experience.
HOW IT WORKS
We’ll kick off the Summer camp on Tuesday with a Youth Climbing Open House from 5:30pm – 6:15pm. Learn more about Team Rock Mill, meet the coaches, and experience the community. Summer Camp will then officially start at 6:30pm.
On Tuesday & Thursday kids will work directly with our Team coaches to learn and practice competition-style climbing and safe falling techniques, as well as a performance mindset. They will then put their new skills to the test during a mock competition on Sunday evening. Kids will be guided through the entire process with direct mentorship and tips for how to continue their training.
