Youth Program

Summer Camp - Teen Camp & Climb

A day of technical skill development at the Seattle Program Center followed by 4 days of climbing and camping near Mazama, WA!

Hone your climbing skills with The Mountaineers this summer. Join us for a day of skill development at our Seattle hub and four days of climbing in the North Cascades! This week of camp is meant for teens age 14-17 and includes transportation, food, and skills lessons. No prior climbing knowledge needed. 

Campers arrive at the Seattle Program Center on Monday morning. We will spend Monday learning technical climbing skills and getting to know each other! We'll spend Monday night in our own beds and come back to the Program Center Tuesday morning for a few more hours of skill development.

Tuesday afternoon we will triple check gear, pack up the cars, and hit the road. We'll be headed north to Pearrygin Lake State Park, set up camp, and spend our time outside climbing on real rock. Once camp is all set up, we will settle in for an evening filled with campfire games, stories, stargazing, and s'mores.

Wednesday and Thursday we'll get up and get climbing! We'll head over to the crags near Mazama, set the routes, and try a variety of climbs. Each evening we'll head back to camp for hearty meals, stargazing, s'mores, games, and a good night of sleep. 

Friday we will eat one last breakfast together, break down camp, and make our way back to the Seattle Program Center for pick up!
