Description

Rock climbing is an exciting sport that conjures the image of adventure and can be practiced from an early age. In Utah, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy this outdoor activity due to its many mountainous areas and rocky formations. On this 5-day Utah climbing camp for children, we offer kids a chance to experience the Salt Lake area nature whilst learning a fun and challenging activity.

On the 5-day rock climbing camp, kids will explore different types of terrains and techniques. They will become familiar with granite, quartzite and limestone rocks. They will also learn how to belay, rappel and maybe try some multi pitch climbing. As they learn rock climbing skills, kids will acquire physical strength and also a feeling of accomplishment after tackling a big challenge. The time spent outdoors, interacting with other children and with the surrounding natural environment is also very stimulating for them.

The camp is for kids between 9 to 12 years old. Each day we will start off at 10 am and have some outdoor fun until 4pm. Parents or guardians will have to drop off their kids at designated meeting points. The guide will decide the meeting point on the night before depending on weather and group conditions.

If you are looking for a great summer alternative for your kids, then you have found it. Don't hesitate to book a place for them now on this 5-day rock climbing camp in Utah!

We also offer a rock climbing program for teens that you can book here!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
