Classic Multi-Sport Day Camp

For over 25 years, Petra Cliffs Climbing Center & Mountaineering School has offered camp programs for youth looking to get outside, explore, and have fun! Known for being more than just a rock climbing camp, Petra Cliffs SumMAT (Summer “Mountain Adventure Training”) Camps provides a variety of opportunities for campers to challenge themselves mentally and physically through daily outdoor adventures, all while under the guidance of highly-skilled guides, trip leaders, and counselors.

Day Camp is geared toward both the beginner and the camper with some experience. Our leaders present new challenges whenever possible to keep activities fresh and exciting. That can be visiting a new location, challenging campers to try harder rock climbing routes, attempt to surf a wave while kayaking, or other twists to old classics.

Ages: 6 to 14

Registration opens midnight (Saturday night), February 1st, 2026!
