Mesa Rim’s Adaptive Climbing Camp is a great place for young adventurers to experience rock climbing in an inclusive and supportive environment! Camp activities are tailored to each child based on their age and experience level. Under the guidance of experienced adaptive climbing coaches, campers will learn about the basics of climbing, how to tie knots, and experience growth on and off the wall. They’ll also play fun off the wall games.

Our adaptive climbing coaches are experienced teaching climbing to youth with various physical and developmental disabilities, and utilize adaptive climbing techniques when needed. Some of these techniques may include:

• Climbing next-to and providing coaching and emotional support directly on the wall.
• Chest and full-body harnesses, grip aids, taping techniques, and knee pads.
• Laser pointers and headsets to support visually impaired climbers.
• Advanced rope systems to provide extra support for climbers (Mechanical Advantage System and static ropes)

The instructional ratio for this camp is one coach per 2 climbers (1:2). If you would like to provide additional assistance such as a therapy aide we are happy to have them with us. Please let us know ahead of time so we can plan accordingly. Our aim is to make this camp accessible for all, so please talk to us about any specific accommodations that would help your child succeed. If you think your child might need 1:1 support, and has climbed with us before, please contact Jono to help determine if this camp is a good fit. If not, a 1:1 session is a recommended introduction to climbing.

If you have questions please feel free to email our Adaptive Programs Lead at jono@mesarim.com, or click here to schedule a phone consultation.

If your child has not climbed with us before, we often recommend to book a 1:1 session with us. You can book a 1:1 session with one of our adaptive climbing coaches by clicking here. Please contact jono@mesarim.com if you are unsure.
