KIDS CLIMBING CAMPS IN OURAY

Basecamp Ouray’s Summer Kids Climbing Camp Series

Introducing Basecamp Ouray's Kids Climbing Program: An exhilarating three-day climbing adventure designed specifically for young explorers aged between 6 and 11 years. This immersive camp provides a safe and nurturing environment for children to learn and master climbing skills, foster self-confidence, and cultivate an appreciation for the great outdoors. Under the guidance of our experienced instructors, your child will experience the thrill of the ascent while fostering new friendships and building lifelong memories.

Ouray Kids Climbing Camps offer a unique opportunity for young climbers, primarily catering to ages 6-11, with minimal climbing experience. We understand every child is unique, so if your child is slightly outside this age range or skill level, please contact us to discuss options for accommodating them.

The camp includes all necessary climbing equipment, such as helmets, harnesses, and climbing shoes, ensuring your child is fully equipped for their climbing adventure. Each group is led by a fun, local climbing guide, dedicated to creating a safe and productive environment for learning and enjoyment.

Parents are asked to provide appropriate attire for their children and pack a lunch for each day. We do provide some snacks and water to keep the young climbers energized and hydrated. The camp, spanning three days of guided climbing, is priced at $350 per child. This camp is not just about climbing; it's an opportunity for kids to engage with the sport in a supportive and exciting setting, fostering a love for climbing and outdoor activity.

Our camps are hosted at one of Ouray's most iconic climbing spots: Rotary Park. With the shortest approach in Ouray, this park is right beside the climbing crag. It offers a range of routes from 5.4 (ideal for beginners) to 5.12 (suited for experts). Facilities like park bathrooms and picnic tables make it perfect for new climbers, families, and seasoned pros.
