Summer Camp - Ropes and Rocks Week 1

Ready to climb? Ready to swim, learn outdoor skills, and hike? Most importantly...are you ready to ROCK? Then this is the week of camp is for you!

Campers ages 6-12 are invited to join The Mountaineers for a week packed with traditional camp games, songs and a heavy dose of outdoor adventure. Each week consists of rock climbing, outdoor skills, crafts, and swimming. Additionally, every week has a field trip, special activity, and/or outdoor adventures relating to the given theme.

During Ropes and Rocks week, campers will have the opportunity to try a variety of climbing techniques including bouldering, belaying, and rappelling. The younger campers (ages 6-8) will take a field trip to the outstanding Heybrook Lookout on Wednesday. This hike through beautiful moss and fern covered forest ends at a lookout structure featuring views of the Central Cascades. The older campers (9+) will take a field trip to the outdoor climbing area at Exit 38 on Thursday. It'll be a great way to put together all the climbing skills they learn during the week.

This week features a talk on the 10 essentials and Mountain Weather by Michael Fagin. Thank you to Green Trails Maps for sponsoring this segment and making this presentation possible.
