CB17 FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What should my child bring each day?
Campers should bring a packed lunch, a refillable water bottle, weather-appropriate clothing, and closed-toe shoes. Please review full packing list in your welcome packet above.
What if my child has never climbed before?
No experience necessary! Our camp is designed for beginners and includes appropriate age instruction and support to help campers build confidence. Climbing will be a section of most camp days, about 60-90 min per day. We encourage students to choose their level of challenge with climbing – which could mean climbing just a couple steps off the ground, or climbing all the way to the top. While we will encourage students to challenge themselves, we will never force anyone to climb.
What does a typical day look like?
Each day includes a mix of climbing activities, nature hikes, team-building games, and outdoor living skills, all wrapped in a focus on social-emotional learning.
What safety measures are in place?
Our staff are trained in challenge course facilitation, first aid and CPR, and youth development. All climbing activities use industry-standard safety equipment and protocols.
How do you handle camper needs like allergies or medical concerns?
Please share all relevant medical information during registration. We work with families to accommodate allergies and health needs as best we can. Please see here for more information.
How are social-emotional learning (SEL) skills integrated into the camp?
We intentionally design our activities to promote Belonging, Courage, Physical Engagement, and Reflection through group challenges, journaling, and debriefs.
What if it rains or the weather is bad?
Camp runs rain or shine! We adjust our activities as needed and have access to shelter for severe weather.
