Our 5-Day Kids Rock Climbing Camp is a great way to get your kids outside for a week of activity and climbing development, whether they are new to the sport or have years of experience. Throughout the week, your child will climb on the Tahoe Via in Olympic Valley and on Donner Summit, as well as participate in several activities including map and compass scavenger hunts, knot tying, educational hikes in Shirley Canyon, and more.

If you’re seeking an exciting outdoor adventure for your kids, look into the Kids Rock Climbing Camp! Designed for ages 8 to 17, this camp introduces kids to the world of rock climbing, hiking, and outdoor skills in a secure and supportive setting.

Safety is paramount at Alpenglow Expeditions. Our instructors, all certified guides with extensive experience, prioritize camper well-being. Before venturing onto the rocks, campers receive comprehensive instruction on climbing techniques, equipment use, and safety protocols. With small group sizes and personalized attention, campers can feel secure as they learn and improve their climbing skills.

Set in our stunning backyard here in Lake Tahoe, campers have the chance to scale real rock climbs under the guidance of expert instructors. From beginner-friendly routes to more challenging climbs, there’s something suitable for every skill level. We’ve catered to everyone from beginner climbers to experienced young athletes.

Yet the Kids Rock Climbing Camp isn’t just about climbing. It’s about building skills, fostering teamwork, and developing an appreciation for the outdoors. Campers bond with their peers as they tackle new challenges together. Whether encouraging each other during a difficult climb or enjoying outdoor activities, friendships naturally develop at Alpenglow Expeditions.

In addition to rock climbing, campers engage in various outdoor pursuits like hiking, exploring nature, and learning useful outdoor skills, knots, and rope work. These activities not only add to the fun but also provide opportunities for campers to learn about and connect with the natural world.

If you’re ready to provide your kids with an unforgettable adventure, enroll them in the Kids Rock Climbing Camp with Alpenglow Expeditions. It’s an opportunity for growth and discovery they won’t want to miss.
