Vertical Endeavors Rock Climbing Camp offers children ages 8 to 17 the opportunity to learn proper climbing techniques in a controlled and fun atmosphere. Activities include toprope climbing, belaying, bouldering, knot tying, rappeling and climbing games. In addition to our focus on fun, all of our camps promote an awareness and an understanding of the importance of safety. Your child will leave camp with a sense of self-reliance and accomplishment, as well as a deeper respect for safety in the sport of rock climbing.

Inspire a passion for science in your child! New activities every year, over 50 locations and four different kinds of Camp Invention programs in Minnesota!

Kids participate in each of these activities every day:

I Can Invent: Fantasy Inventions and Complicated Machines II - Use real tools to take apart old appliances and see how they work, then create a model of your own invention. Older campers participate in a Rube Goldberg team challenge.

Tape Me to Your Leader – Learn about structural engineering and design a command center to communicate with aliens
Solve It: The Missing Inventor’s Log – Recreate and analyze a crime scene to find out whodunit
