ABC Outdoor Climbing
Outdoor Clubs
ABC Outdoor Clubs run in the fall and spring and provide an excellent outlet for kids to take their climbing beyond the gym to real rock! We offer Weekday After School Clubs and Full Day Weekend Clubs for climbers of all levels - no prior experience required!
Each week, ABC guides lead participants to nearby climbing areas for a day of bouldering or rope climbing. For new climbers, clubs offer a great introduction to outdoor climbing, packing in extensive learning and outdoor experience in short, after school sessions. For returning climbers, our experienced guides introduce more advanced climbing techniques, explore new terrain, and encourage athletes to push their limits on both challenging and rewarding routes.
Outdoor Club programs emphasize learning the fundamentals of climbing technique and risk management all while exploring and building a connection with nature.
ABC Outdoor Summer camps are what really set us apart. These camps build teamwork, self responsibility and confidence in our youth climbers.
We have options for kids who have never climbed before to kids who are top ten in the state. We are able to provide this by staffing highly skilled guides who are also climbing coaches. Our guides have chosen this as a career and are extremely experienced working with youth who are learning to climb.
We have access to world class climbing destinations here in boulder and we make full use of these areas.
ABC travel camps are the highlight of everyone’s year. We take competitive youth athletes to some of the best locations in Colorado and the surrounding states. Exposing them to the broader climbing world and providing unforgettable experiences with their teammates friends and competitors. These trips are open to all competitive athletes from any gym.
