Rock Climbing at High Rocks is more than just reaching a summit. As a premier climbing program, technical progression is central to our program. Campers are guided through a progression that meets each boy where he is, supporting him as he builds strength and confidence. (Really, we know you are reading this to watch our new video! See it below!)
Progression is the heart of our climbing summer camp program. Watch our newest video to see it in action!
Every activity period starts with harness checks and proper helmet use. Campers learn how to properly put on their gear before getting on a wall.
Skills are built with intention. We work on our climbing wall to master the basics of movement and knots. We use our bouldering cave to build strength and creative problem-solving. Getting on real rock outside of camp allows campers to apply those skills honed in camp.
If you’ve read this far, be on the lookout this May for new updates to our progression systems in activities. We have exciting additions to help increase clarity for campers, create more individual goals, and increase the hype!
