Participant Requirements

Who Is Summer Camp For?

Our summer camps are designed for kids ages 7–13. Campers are divided into smaller groups by age so activities and challenges can be tailored to each group.

We recommend age 7 as the minimum for full-day camps because campers need the independence and maturity to participate in a full day away from home.

Campers should be able to:

Follow directions and rules
Respect counselors, instructors, and other campers
Spend a full day away from parents without significant separation anxiety
Stay focused and attentive
Participate without constant 1:1 assistance

Our camps maintain approximately a 6:1 camper-to-instructor ratio, so campers should be comfortable participating as part of a group.

Have a younger camper? We understand that every child develops differently. 6-year-olds who meet these expectations are welcome to attend. Please use your best judgment, and contact us at camps.cr@ugclimbing.com if you're unsure whether camp is a good fit.

Our goal is for every camper to have a positive and incredibly fun experience!

What to Bring

Come ready for a day of climbing, games, and adventure! Campers should wear comfortable, athletic clothing that allows plenty of movement and athletic shoes with socks. Each camper should also bring a small backpack containing:

👕 Clean change of clothes — Just in case!
💧 Water bottle — Staying hydrated is important during an active day.
👟 Closed-toed athletic shoes — Bring comfortable tennis or athletic shoes that your child can climb, run, and play in. No Crocs or open-toed shoes, please.
- Climbing shoes are not required. Campers may bring their own or add Shoe Rental for $25/week.
🧗 Personal climbing gear, if they have it — Campers are welcome to bring their own climbing shoes, harness, or chalk bag.
- We provide rental harnesses and belay devices for campers who need them.

Please clearly label everything with your child's name.

Outdoor Fun

Please bring:

🧥 Sweatshirt or light jacket — Kids can cool down quickly after running and playing, even when they feel warm at first.
🧴 Sunscreen — Cool or cloudy days can still bring plenty of UV exposure. Please apply sunscreen before camp and send some along for reapplication.
🧢 Hat — A baseball cap or sun hat helps protect their face and eyes when we're outside.

Come prepared for the weather—we'll make the most of every chance to get outside!

Leave Valuables at Home

Please leave cell phones, electronic games, and other valuables at home. We want campers focused on climbing, playing, and having fun! We are not responsible for lost, misplaced, or stolen belongings.

Pack light and bring only what your camper needs for a great day at camp!

Camp Activities

All the fun things!

Our camps combine climbing, games, physical challenges, and creative problem-solving to keep kids active, engaged, and having fun throughout the day. Activities will vary by camp, but campers can expect a mix of:

🧗 Rope Climbing
Campers will climb our ropes and learn how to work with a belay partner while building focus, communication, and confidence.

🏔️ Adventure Activities
Throughout the week (not every day), kids get to complete crate stacking, tyrol traverse, king swing, & rock fall challenges.

⚖️ Balance & Coordination
Slacklines and other balance activities challenge campers to develop coordination, core strength, concentration, and perseverance.

🏃 Obstacle Courses & Physical Challenges
Campers will crawl, climb, jump, balance, and run through a variety of obstacle courses and physical challenges.

🎯 Games & Team Challenges
Team-based games, climbing challenges, races, and problem-solving activities encourage teamwork, communication, and friendly competition.

Climbing Skills

Skill Introduction

Throughout the week, campers will also develop real climbing skills, including:

🧗 Climbing Equipment
Learning how to properly use climbing shoes, harnesses, ropes, carabiners, and belay devices.

🪢 Knot Tying
Campers will learn and practice important climbing knots used to properly connect and secure climbing equipment.

🤝 Belaying
With instructor guidance, campers will learn the fundamentals of belaying "Mr Knotty" and how climbers and belayers work together.

🧠 Climbing Technique & Movement
Campers will work on body positioning, balance, efficient movement, route reading, and problem-solving.

Every activity is designed to be age-appropriate, engaging, and fun, with an emphasis on building confidence, independence, teamwork, and a love of climbing. Please note that camp provides an introduction to a variety of climbing skills rather than in-depth instruction. While campers will learn and practice real climbing skills, our focus is on having fun, trying new things, and building confidence.

For more structured and progressive climbing instruction, our Youth Classes provide a much more focused learning environment with dedicated time to develop climbing technique and skills.

The Fine Print

Drop-Off & Pick-Up Policy

Camp hours are 9:00am–4:30pm, with standard drop-off beginning at 8:30am and pickup available until 5:00pm.

Belay Testing Before Camp

Campers who arrive before camp to take a belay test must be accompanied and supervised by a parent or guardian at all times. Campers may not be dropped off between 8:00–8:30 AM to take a belay test, as CampGrippen staff are not responsible for camper supervision prior to 8:30 AM. After completing the test, the camper must remain with their parent or guardian until they are officially checked into camp at 8:30 AM or later, unless early drop off has been purchased and arranged ahead of time.

Food & Dietary Needs

Because every child has different dietary needs and restrictions, we are unable to accommodate individual meal requests. If your child has specific dietary requirements, you are welcome to provide their lunch and/or snacks. We're happy to provide the planned weekly menu in advance so you can decide what works best for your child.

Rescheduling Policy

We know plans can change, and we're happy to help when we can. If your camper can no longer attend their scheduled camp, you may request to reschedule for a different camp date, subject to availability.

Rescheduling fee: $50 per enrollment
Rescheduling requests must be made by phone or email.
Rescheduling is not guaranteed and depends on space being available in another camp.

Camp Cancellation Policy

Cancellations are subject to the following fees based on how far in advance the cancellation is requested:

Cancellation Timing	Cancellation Fee
More than 28 days before camp	25% of enrollment
7–28 days before camp	50% of enrollment
2–7 days before camp	75% of enrollment
Less than 48 hours before camp	100% of enrollment

Any remaining balance after the cancellation fee will be refunded.

Cancellation requests must be made by phone at 720-592-0716 or by email at camps.cr@ugclimbing.com.

Camper Participation & Dismissal

We will make every reasonable effort to accommodate each camper and help them have a great experience. However, we reserve the right to contact a parent or guardian and send a camper home for the remainder of the day or week if their behavior is consistently unsafe or they are unable or unwilling to participate appropriately in the group.

Before registering, please make sure your child is able to:

Follow directions and safety rules
Respect counselors, instructors, and other campers
Comfortably spend a full day away from parents or guardians
Stay reasonably focused and attentive
Participate safely without requiring constant 1:1 staff attention

Our camps operate at approximately a 6:1 camper-to-instructor ratio. Our goal is to create a safe, positive, and fun experience for every camper.

Waiver Required

All campers must have a completed and signed waiver on file before the start of camp. The waiver must be completed by the camper's parent or legal guardian.

All camps take place at Übergrippen Indoor Climbing Crag in Castle Rock:
