My daughter had an absolutely incredible experience at climbing camp, and I cannot say enough good things about Jeremiah, Ben, and the entire team. She came home every single day excited to tell me about everything she had done, where they had climbed, what she had learned, and the new challenges she had taken on. It was obvious from the very beginning that this was much more than just a fun summer camp for her. I especially want to recognize Ben. He was absolutely amazing with my daughter. The time, patience, encouragement, and instruction he gave her throughout the week made a huge impact. He did much more than simply teach her the fundamentals of climbing. He helped her build confidence, develop new skills, challenge herself, and discover what appears to be a genuine new passion for rock climbing. As a parent, one of the best parts was watching how proud she became of herself throughout the week. She finished camp already talking about wanting her own climbing shoes and harness and finding ways to continue climbing. Jeremiah and his team created an experience that my daughter will remember for a very long time. It is rare to find a program where you can see such a noticeable impact on your child in only a few days. I would absolutely recommend this camp and organization to any family looking for an outdoor experience that is fun, challenging, confidence building, and incredibly well run. Thank you again to Jeremiah and especially Ben for giving my daughter such an amazing week. We will definitely be back!
