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. Our hope is that campers will indeed have the opportunity during their camping career. Camp Guggenheim obtains a permit for operation from the New York State Department of Health and is inspected twice annually.
