We're going to be late arrivals at Camp. Thanks for letting us know. Rappelling and rock climbing are High Adventure activities that campers participate in under the direction of specially trained staff members. Rock climbing uses a similar safety system, and provides campers with the challenge of climbing up a cliff at a different location. Campers are safety harnessed and attached to a belay system that is given a staff member's constant attention while a camper is climbing or rappelling.
All equipment meets industry specifications, and staff members receive annual safety training.
Parents are encouraged to inquire further at camp if they have further questions. Participation in all adventure activities at Camp Guggenheim is based on the Challenge By Choice philosophy. Our older campers are given priority for rock climbing and rappelling. Younger campers are welcome to participate on a space-available basis. Unfortunately we cannot accommodate all campers that are interested during each session.
