2026 National Competition Skills Camp

Wednesday–Friday, June 10–12 (8:00 AM – 4:00 PM)
Earlybird Price: $300 | Price after May 3: $360
Location: Minneapolis Bouldering Project
Registration is OPEN!

This three-day intensive camp prepares athletes for the demands of 2026 USAC Youth Nationals. Across the camp, athletes will focus on three core themes:

  • Intensity – bringing full effort and commitment to each attempt
  • Coordination – refining timing, body control, and complex movement
  • Risk – learning when and how to commit on modern comp-style boulders

Athletes will train on Nationals-style settings, receive targeted feedback, and refine their competition process.

All athletes are invited to participate in our National Simulation event immediately following the camp.
