Looking for a great way to keep your kids active this summer? Check out the Summer Day Camp programs we have at Central Rock Climbing Gyms.

Central Rock Climbing gym is dedicated to creating a fantastic experience for our climbing community and extending that experience to the local community. Rock climbing has a unique way of drawing out the very best in every participant and creates an experience unlike any other sporting activity. It is an activity that requires strength, mental toughness, communication, and most importantly trust.

We at Central Rock Gym hope that you will give your children a chance to experience everything that rock climbing has to offer by joining our summer climbing camps. They will have a fun and exciting experience and make friends in the process.

Registration for all summer camps is now available by following this LINK.

Gneiss Climbers Summer Camp Program / Indoor Summer Camp 2012

This summer, we will have one camp instead of a beginner and advanced camp done in previous years. All climbers will be broken into groups based on skill levels; those with very limited or no experience and the experienced climbers looking for some hands on coaching.

The beginner climbing program is structured for novice climbers; those with very limited or no experience. This five day program, open to children age 7 and up, will focus on an introduction to the sport of climbing, lessons on safety skills, and of course a lot of climbing. The climbing will be interspersed with a number of activities focused on kinesthetic development, social skills, team building, and self-esteem. Through this experience we hope that all participants will come away with a solid foundation with which to enjoy a lifetime of climbing and most importantly have fun in the process.
