Summer Camps
A fun, kid centered summer camp designed with your kid in mind. We will spend lots of time climbing--including playing climbing games, learning new skills, and having plenty of time for self exploration on the wall. And because every climber needs a break, every day will include healthy snacks and a new craft!
​
Join our experienced kids & youth coaches climbing, playing games, and doing arts and crafts Monday-Thursday. The week leads up to Friday when we will climb outside in beautiful Custer State Park.

We know it's easier for families to book siblings in the same week, so if you have a climber in one age bracket and another that is close, go ahead and sign them up for the same week. We love families climbing together at Basecamp!
