Climbing Camp

We offer personalized instruction within a supportive group setting. Climbers will learn the safety fundamentals: belaying, anchoring and rappelling; while honing their technique with world-class movement coaching! Many of our expert, credentialed guides are world class mountaineers with first ascents or world records. These are overnight camps; we lodge at the historic Oakland Ski Club on Donner Summit. The camaraderie, games and evening storytelling are classic. Enjoy BIG SUMMER DAYS of climbing, swimming in alpine lakes, and shooting the rapids of the “Truckee” on our whitewater rafting rest day. Whether you’ve never climbed outside the gym or you are a real-rock master, this camp will enhance your climbing techniques on cracks, slabs and steep faces. Our guides are First Aid/CPR and AMGA certified and fully background checked.
