Summer Camps & Day Camps

The place for your youth to climb, explore, and grow after school

Geared for school-aged youth, our camps offer plenty of climbing and social time for kids of all experience levels. We design our curriculum to reduce stress, ease the intimidation of heights and falling, and make climbing approachable in a fun and supportive way. We also stress to our students that the goal is not to be the best climbers in the world—the goal is to love climbing and love doing it with one another.

 

Summer Camps

Summer Camps are a great way for youth ages 6-15 to spend summer days! We dive deep into a sport whose physical and mental benefits are tangible and diverse, and we have a dependable, caring staff whose focus is youth development. We offer Summer Camps at our Fremont, Poplar, and U District locations.

Spring Break Camps

Spring in Seattle may be wet and rainy, but kids ages 6-10 can come in for all kinds of fun in our Spring Break Camps – lots of climbing, lots of games, lots of laughter. Join us during Spring Break for obstacle courses, climbing instruction, team challenges and more in our single-day camps.

Winter Break Camps

Winter Break Camps are for youth ages 6-12. Join us for obstacle courses, climbing instruction, team challenges, and more in our single-day camps. Feel free to choose one or more days of camp for your young climber.

Midwinter Break Camps

Spend your Midwinter Break at Bouldering Project! Midwinter Break Camps are for youth ages 6-12. Join us for obstacle courses, climbing instruction, team challenges, and more in our single-day camps. Feel free to choose one or more days of camp for your young climber.

Youth Rules and Expectations

Climbing is an exciting and fun sport—but it does come with risks. We insist on highly-attentive adult supervision to mitigate these risks for youth and other climbers. Before climbing with us, please read these tips.

  1. Youth under the age of 14 must be closely accompanied by an adult at all times.
  2. Our supervision ratio is 2 to 1; up to 2 youth climbers can be supervised by 1 adult chaperone at a time.
  3. Stay far from the walls and out of fall zones when moving through the gym or waiting to climb. A “fall zone” is anywhere on the mats where a climber could land if they were to fall.
  4. Make sure to check where a route ends before starting to climb–some routes are close together or even overlap, and you don’t want to end up directly above, below, or next to another climber.
  5. This is a climbing gym! Please save running, wrestling, horseplay, and gymnastics for other spaces.
