Summer Camp - Camp & Climb

Come climb with the Mountaineers for a 3-day camping adventure at Mt. Erie! We'll be headed north to Deception Pass, set up camp where the coast meets the mountains, and practice outdoor rock climbing skills. This camp is open to kids ages 10 to 14 and includes transportation, food, and skills lessons.

Campers arrive at the Seattle Program Center on Tuesday morning at 9am. We will triple check gear, pack up the cars, and hit the road. Once camp is all set up near Deception Pass, we will have time to explore the surrounding trails and beaches before dinner. Our evening will be filled with campfire games, stories, stargazing, and s'mores.

Wednesday is filled with climbing. We'll drive over to the Mt. Erie climbing area, set the routes, and try a variety of climbs. After a picnic lunch at the crag, campers will have the opportunity to rappel and/or continue to climb. After our long day, we will make a hearty dinner and enjoy another campfire-side evening.

Thursday begins with a big breakfast, camp cleanup, and coastal hike before we all hop back in the car and head back to Seattle. We'll get back in time for some swimming at the lake or climbing at The Mountaineers. Pick up is at the Seattle Program Center at 3pm.

Looking forward to the adventure!
