Thinking about what to do with your little monkeys after a day at summer camp? Instead of them bouncing of your walls, bring them to ours at the UCSB Adventure Climbing Center! Our 30 foot imprint wall is the largest on the west coast and is notorious for squeezing every last bit of energy out of aspiring young climbers. With nearly 30 vertical feet of bright, colorful holds and natural rock-like features to explore, boredom is not an option.

Each day of the program will incorporate many different aspects of climbing. Campers will learn climbing safety, movement skills, resting techniques, how to use different holds, basic knots and intermediate climbing skills. They will learn team belaying as they experience the high wall and learn bouldering techniques.

But the fun doesn’t stop there! Different games will played throughout the camp, such as twister on the wall, hula hoop traverse, and speed climbing.

There are three one week camps from 4pm-5:30pm on weekdays. Children can be signed up for only one week if they prefer, however it is recommended that they sign up for multiple weeks. Each week different skills will be taught and this way they can expand their climbing knowledge and continue to practice their technique.

Our program is instructed by certified Lead Climbing Wall Instructors from the Professional Climbing Instructors’ Association. The instructors teach many different levels of climbing, therefore the camp is tailored to each child’s climbing ability.

This activity is recommended for children at least 6 years of age and older.
