Kids ages 8-14 will learn about basic rock climbing skills, knot tying, belaying techniques, and climbing etiquette. By the end of the three days they will know as many useful knots as most adults do, will climb several climbs each day, belay other climbers, and have a great time in the outdoors!

If weather permits we will climb at Exit 32 (Little Si) or Exit 38 in North Bend. If not, we may head to the desert and climb in Vantage, WA for the day. Drop off will be Tue/Wed/Thurs at 9am and pick up at 3:30pm each day at the shop or trailhead.

Please note that only the first date (Tuesday) will show up after you click the View Dates and Availability.
