During the school holidays in Brooklyn, a young boy with brown hair climbs an indoor rock wall, eyes closed and mouth open in excitement or concentration, gripping a yellow climbing hold with one hand.

School Holiday Programs

No School. No Problem.

We gear adventure days and weeks for youth ages 5-12. Whether your child is brand new to bouldering or has been coming here for years, we make sure they get the most out of their day with climbing, social time and off the wall games.

Registration is now open for Fall 2025 Adventure Days!

Several children sit and chat on a mat at DC Adventure Days indoor climbing gym, with colorful climbing walls and more kids in the background. One child in the foreground wears a name tag that reads ISAAC.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Adventure Days run from 9:00 am – 3:30 pm on DCPS holidays. Kids must be between the ages of 4-14.

During our rock climbing day camp, kids will spend time learning how to climb in our kids room and main bouldering areas, participate in STEM and Arts activities, and more!

Campers will be broken up by age range (4-6, 7-9, 10+). We provide climbing shoes and required program materials.

Adventure Weeks

Adventure Weeks run during DCPS school breaks. Registration for the full week is required.

My kid speaks highly of the counselors and leaders - it’s clear that he feels a warm welcome every day that he goes to Bouldering Project.
