INDOOR CAMP

For ages 4 and up. Includes Toproping, Bouldering, speed climbing, games, obstacle courses, and other climbing fun!

Outdoor Camp

To participate you must take at least one week of indoor camp and be 8 years or older.

Safety is our #1 concern. The lead instructors will be Deanna Quesada and Danielle Roman, co-owners of BCR; and Sandy Fee, owner of Sea Stone Adventures. We have been instructing kids for 18 years and specifically rock climbing for 10 years, in addition to being CPR/First Aid-certified and AMGA- and WFR-certified. There will be a total of 4 classes in the development of our young climbers: 1 indoor class taught at Beach City Rocks, and 3 outdoor days of climbing at the best local crags in the area. Climbing focuses on trust, responsibility, and enhances excellent safety standards, not to mention it's a lot of fun! No prior experience necessary.

Climbing outdoors is an exciting experience, and with BCR's safety standards, you'll want to come back for more. We start our week by getting familiar with our equipment and learning to climb, and if old enough "How to Belay" indoors at the gym. This is a mandatory 3-hour introductory course. Then on Tuesday we set out for 3 days outdoors. We will visit different climbing areas throughout the week depending on weather. Some of our favorite spots are Malibu Creek State Park, Zuma Beach, and Lizard's Mouth in Santa Barbara.

BCR Classes   You need to bring: lots of water, sunscreen, camera, lunch, snacks, and a daypack to put it all in. What to wear: layers, hiking shoes, clothes you can move in, sunglasses, and a hat.

All climbers will be sent home with paperwork that must be completed and returned by the next class date. Beach City Rocks will transport all climbers to the climbing areas and will meet at the gym at 8:45 am on each date.

CUSTOMIZING THE CAMP EXPERIENCE

We will customize a camp for any group of 6 or more. We'll hold camps Monday through Friday or over a period of time on a day you designate. These tailor-made camps are popular with home school, religious organizations, private schools and similar groups.
