The Boise Black Cliffs are perfect for spring climbing. We will introduce the kids to face climbing, crack climbing, and even 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 a friend is a great way to strengthen the relationship and build trust. We encourage this. Learning together is fun and helps a great deal as our kids develop.
