Summer Camp

During our fun-filled, week-long summer camp sessions, kids (ages 6-13) will stay active by experimenting with different types of climbing as well as engaging in exciting games and activities. We emphasize problem-solving and team-building initiatives while focusing on creating an inclusive and fun environment. Kids will also learn how to belay (age permitting), allowing them to experience yet another perspective of the sport. All participants are guaranteed to have fun, make friends, become stronger climbers, and break personal barriers, all while under the supervision of our specially trained staff.

ONLINE REGISTRATION closes one week before the start of a camp week. To register, within the one-week timeline, please email stonehamcamp@centralrockgym.com. Please note that we are not able to guarantee bookings for inquiries made on the Saturday or Sunday before the start of camp. You are not considered enrolled unless you receive a confirmation email.
