Smith Rock Climbing Camp
is the most amazing summer camp on the planet! And yes, it's for experienced climbers! OK, we have a few questions:
- Do you live, eat and breathe climbing?
- Would you rather climb than just about anything else in the world?
- When you're sitting in class, do you ever daydream about nailing that boulder problem or your most recent proj?
- Do you sometimes just want to forget about everything else and do nothing but climb for the rest of your life?
If you answer yes to even one of these questions, you are officially a climbing addict and THIS IS THE CAMP FOR YOU!!
The camp dates for summer 2008 are July 12th through the 26th.
Our camp is for ages 10 through 16, and it has been our most popular program since 1994. We climb, boulder, camp, walk the slack line, do yoga, do the Tyrolean Traverse on the Monkey Face formation (see photo above) swim and ride the zip line at the amazing Steelhead Falls, and then we climb and climb some more. It's all about helping you to improve your climbing skills while having fun at the same time.

THE COST FOR SMITH ROCK CLIMBING CAMP 2008 IS $2,200. This includes all camping fees and camping equipment, guiding fees and climbing equipment, yoga fees, transportation, food, rafting fees, etc. We have only 16 kids per camp, so they fill up fast. By keeping the number of campers small, we can give the kids our complete personal attention to be sure they are as safe as possible and that they get to climb as much as they possibly can. Our guide to climber ratio never exceeds 1:4 and sometimes it's 1:2. Sign up soon and get ready for the best summer of your life! goclimbing07@yahoo.com
