Ground Up Climbing Camp

This will be Ground Up Climbing Guides’ seventh summer wrangling kids in climbing camps all over the Eastside, and stoke level is high.

This year we are offering three-day sessions and will cap group size at 11 or 12 kids. Our climbing camps are great for kids ages 8 to 15, with some exceptions made for 7-year-olds who have climbed with Ground Up Climbing Guides before.

The keys to a safe and successful day of climbing are qualified supervision and the right terrain. You want your kids to be challenged, but you also want to leave them with a feeling of success knowing they were able to reach the top. Ground Up Climbing Guides knows all the sweet spots around Mammoth Lakes, and even a couple of ‘secret spots’.

“Loved it! My kids did a camp with Clay and Forrest and came home raving, so we hired them when we had friends visiting. Everyone had a great time. Clay was very enthusiastic and helpful in showing us the ropes.
