2008 SUMMER CLIMBING CAMPS

We are very excited to announce plans for our 2008 Summer Youth and Juniors Climbing Camps. Throughout the summer, we will hold a variety of programs for ages 4 to 14.

Whether your child has never been on a rock wall or is a vertical veteran, The CT Rock Gym has a summer camp just for your family! Absolutely no experience is necessary!

We will be offering week and two week long sessions; three days per week. Our Juniors camp is for ages 4 to 9 and the Youth program will challenge the 10 to 16 year olds.

Participants will receive comprehensive coaching and instruction in climbing technique; safety; equipment use; communication; team-work; advanced climbing techniques and much more! We'll play games; participate in team-building exercises and have fun! Each day, we'll focus on different techniques and topics. We're also planning to have a few local, renowned climbers do slide shows for the kids.

Registration Begins April 15. Please call or stop by the gym to register for our exciting summer programs.
