Prepare for Success with These Action items

If climbing and/or camping are new activities for your student(s), set them up for success by helping them prepare in advance.

✅ Paperwork

• If you have not already done so, please fill out Participant Agreement & Liability Waiver. This is required for participation.

• If weather makes for poor outdoor climbing conditions, we’ll head inside to Boulders Climbing Gym. Please view instructions and fill out Boulders' waiver prior to camp.

✅ EQUIPMENT

• Look over our Teen Climbing Camp Equipment List to ensure your camper arrives prepared. We encourage parents to allow their teens to take responsibility for packing and sourcing supplies.

• We provide all climbing equipment, but if campers are welcome to bring and use their own. If you’d like to purchase climbing equipment from us, we will deliver it to camp.

• Please send your camper’s medications in a safe container labeled with the camper's name, medication name, dosage, and the time it is to be administered. If your camper is comfortable handling their own medications, great! If your camper needs support with medications, please let us know so we can provide reminders and safe storage as needed.

✅ Experience

• If your camper hasn’t spent the night away from home, create smaller opportunities before camp. This could be a one or two-night weekend camp-out, or even camping in the backyard. Have them test out their sleeping gear to make sure it’s comfortable. (Check out this article from REI for some tips).

• If your camper doesn’t have cooking skills, help them learn a few simple tasks and/or recipes to be helpful around the kitchen.

• One of the delights of spending time outdoors is the ability to unplug. We encourage campers to leave their phones at home, or in the care of the instructor team for the week. Instructors will be sure to take plenty of pictures and provide a phone call home if necessary.
