Participants keep busy throughout the week with a schedule filled with climbing, outdoor activities, arts and crafts and more.

Additionally, the kids get outdoors every day with activities including trips to nearby parks and pools, water games, orienteering as well as team-based games. Basecamp Climbing also fills out the week with a variety of arts and crafts activities that activate the imagination and foster a deeper connection between participants.
