Aquatics + Climbing Combo

The minimum age for this camp is 8 years old as of the start of camp due to water safety ratios. This is outside our normal 9 to 11-year-old age range.

Our Climbing & Aquatics Camp is perfect for active adventurers who love both water and heights! Campers will spend part of their day exploring fun aquatic activities such as Lifesaving Sport, Diving, Innertube Waterpolo, swimming lessons, and water games. They’ll also enjoy creative crafts, outdoor play, and learn basic first aid skills.

The other half of the day focuses on building climbing skills through bouldering, high-wall climbing, and engaging challenges designed to improve confidence, strength, and movement. Age-appropriate multi-sport activities support overall athletic development and keep the day exciting.

This dynamic camp offers the perfect mix of splashing, climbing, and skill-building fun!

Swim Experience: Participants are expected to  like the water and be comfortable in the water both shallow and deep. There isn't a specific level of swimming lessons they need to reach.  Being comfortable enough to swim a length of the pool without stopping would be a good start to the evaluation of swimming strength.
