The Thinking Spot in McCall is the perfect place for the ultimate kids’ climbing camps. We will introduce the kids to face climbing, crack climbing, and bouldering. This camp is designed to provide beginning and intermediate climbers with an incredible experience and to provide as much climbing knowledge as possible over three days.

Our guides will work with every camper to ensure they have a positive experience. It is all about climbing and moving on the rock every single day. The curriculum includes learning the equipment, establishing belays, building anchors, and safety.

Idaho Mountain Guides camps teach critical thinking and problem-solving skills as the campers learn more about how to climb.

Climbing with friends is a great way to strengthen relationships and build trust. We encourage this. Learning together is fun and helps a great deal as our kids develop.

A sample itinerary is described below. The schedule can change due to weather, group skills, and other factors.
