Summer Camp - Climbing Camp - Olympia - 2026

Kids ages 8-12  can join us for a 5 adventure filled days ! Kids will have a chance to try rock climbing, hiking, navigation, first aid, knots and rope skills, arts and crafts, and basic wilderness skills. This week in particular will focus on an introduction to rock climbing skills. No prior climbing experience is necessary, and each camper can choose the level of challenge they are willing to take on!

Here are a few things to keep in mind:\

• Camp runs from 9 am-4 pm each day
• We will go on an outdoor climbing field trip Thursday 
• On Friday we will climb at the Tacoma Mountaineers Program Center 
• Teens age 14+ who have climbing experience are welcome to volunteer! Email clairee@mountaineers.org for more info.

Where does Camp start and end each day?

Monday - Friday: Drop-off at 9 am and pick-up at 4 pm  at the Olympia Friends Meeting House 

What does a typical day at Camp look like?

Each day is filled with fun curriculum to teach your camper how to be safe while climbing and exploring outdoors. On the first day of camp, we spend the morning getting to know our campers, playing games, jumping into outdoor skills, and having fun! On the days we stay at The Friends meeting house, we get to go climbing, and learn different types of curriculum (first aid, map and compass, rope skills, using the 10 essentials, and more). On your group’s field trip day, campers will ride in our van out to an outdoor climbing area and get to experience climbing on real rock. We will wrap up our camp at the Tacoma Mountaineers with an indoor/ outdoor rock climbing experience and other rope skills.
