The 5th week (July 28 - Aug 1) is Competitive Climber Camp for ages 9-17 (signup link) - Is your child serious about developing their climbing knowledge and skills? This one-week camp is designed for youth with interest in climbing as a sport and developing themselves as a climber personally and socially. Special sessions include individualized training, an introduction to route-setting. For members of our youth climbing team, or youth interested in joining the team, this camp would be a great way to start getting ready for the fall season!

Summer camps at Apex are best suited for climbers who are able to understand and follow directions, work and play with others, and eat and use the bathroom independently. If your child has sensory needs, we recommend visiting the facility before enrolling in camp; the climbing gym is a high-sensory environment and may be overwhelming for some. We are happy to discuss sensory items you may want to send with your child. Apex summer camps may not provide an adequately supportive environment for children who have a one-to-one aide or paraprofessional at school or are at risk of elopement. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide one-to-one staffing. If your family works with an aide or paraprofessional independently, we encourage you to inquire about sending an aide to accompany your child at camp. 

For all of our climbing campers to have a positive experience, it is important that each child follows the facility rules and cooperates with others respectfully. This includes following directions, abiding by safety and hygiene rules, and treating other campers and climbers using the facility kindly. Apex staff will call home on the second behavior warning; after this, further behavior incidents may result in dismissal from camp without refund.

Children bring their own lunch; tennis shoes for non-climbing activities.
