Quick Details
Rock Climbing Youth Camp
Join us for five spectacular days of climbing in one of the best climbing areas in the world, Squamish, British Columbia! This is a bouldering, sport climbing, and crack climbing camp designed specifically for youth interested in pushing themselves to excel in the sport of climbing.
We camp together, climb together, learn together, and grow together. Let Kaf Adventures guide you while you try the ropes outdoors! Kaf Adventures strives to develop meaningful outdoor youth climbing experiences that balance the development of technical skills with pure, goofy, fun.
Through intentional programming, these trips are designed to use the sport of climbing to mentor, guide, and challenge youth climbers; to create strong individuals, promote team building, stimulate growth, and define character.
