Character

Climbing teaches us about life. Whether it's learning to fall and get up again or encouraging those around you, every Basecamp coach incorporates character development into every program.

Community Ethics

Taking care of the crag, interacting with others at the gym, and ensuring access to climbing for future generations is the responsibility of everyone.  

Climbing Competency

Learning to climb efficiently and with proper technique will incentivize kids to keep climbing as long as they choose.

Safety

The first lesson of any class with anyone of any age is learning how to fall. While climbing will never be without risk, we teach kids to manage and minimize risk.
