What Makes Our Summer Camp Stand Out
Small Group Sizes
We prioritize a low camper-to-instructor ratio to ensure that each child receives individual attention and support throughout the week. This allows us to tailor activities to each camper’s skill level and comfort zone, creating an inclusive experience for both new climbers and returning adventurers.
Indoor Facility Equals All Weather Fun
Located just off exit 49S of the Long Island Expressway I-495 in Melville, NY, our indoor climbing gym offers more than 20,000 square feet of climbable terrain. That means no rainouts, no sunburns, just pure fun, no matter the weather.

Climbing-Focused Fun

Knot Tying Workshops: Kids will practice tying essential climbing knots like the figure-eight follow-through and stopper knot
Belaying Skills: Older campers and returning participants will learn how to belay, fostering trust and responsibility
Climbing Games: Favorites like Add-On, Twister Holds, and Obstacle Routes keep kids engaged while building agility and problem-solving skills
Off-the-Wall Activities
Arts and Crafts: Campers make tie-dye shirts, friendship bracelets, and climbing-themed keepsakes to take home
Group Games: Indoor board games and team-building challenges help develop social skills and teamwork
Outdoor Lawn Games: When the weather’s nice, we head outside for cornhole, giant Jenga, ladder ball, and more

What Makes Our Summer Camp Stand Out
Small Group Sizes
We prioritize a low camper-to-instructor ratio to ensure that each child receives individual attention and support throughout the week. This allows us to tailor activities to each camper’s skill level and comfort zone, creating an inclusive experience for both new climbers and returning adventurers.
Indoor Facility Equals All Weather Fun
Located just off exit 49S of the Long Island Expressway I-495 in Melville, NY, our indoor climbing gym offers more than 20,000 square feet of climbable terrain. That means no rainouts, no sunburns, just pure fun, no matter the weather.

Climbing-Focused Fun
Bouldering and Top Rope Climbing: Campers explore different styles of climbing in a safe environment
Body Movement: Learn the basics of climbing technique, including footwork, balance, and hand placement
Knot Tying Workshops: Kids will practice tying essential climbing knots like the figure-eight follow-through and stopper knot
Belaying Skills: Older campers and returning participants will learn how to belay, fostering trust and responsibility
Climbing Games: Favorites like Add-On, Twister Holds, and Obstacle Routes keep kids engaged while building agility and problem-solving skills
Off-the-Wall Activities
Arts and Crafts: Campers make tie-dye shirts, friendship bracelets, and climbing-themed keepsakes to take home
Group Games: Indoor board games and team-building challenges help develop social skills and teamwork
Outdoor Lawn Games: When the weather’s nice, we head outside for cornhole, giant Jenga, ladder ball, and more
Special Daily Themes and Events
Every day of the week features something special to keep the camp experience fresh and exciting

What Makes Our Summer Camp Stand Out
Small Group Sizes
We prioritize a low camper-to-instructor ratio to ensure that each child receives individual attention and support throughout the week. This allows us to tailor activities to each camper’s skill level and comfort zone, creating an inclusive experience for both new climbers and returning adventurers.
Indoor Facility Equals All Weather Fun
Located just off exit 49S of the Long Island Expressway I-495 in Melville, NY, our indoor climbing gym offers more than 20,000 square feet of climbable terrain. That means no rainouts, no sunburns, just pure fun, no matter the weather.
Activities at Summer Rocks Camp
Each day at Summer Rocks is packed with exciting activities that blend climbing instruction with imaginative play and creativity.
Climbing-Focused Fun
Bouldering and Top Rope Climbing: Campers explore different styles of climbing in a safe environment
Body Movement: Learn the basics of climbing technique, including footwork, balance, and hand placement
Knot Tying Workshops: Kids will practice tying essential climbing knots like the figure-eight follow-through and stopper knot
Belaying Skills: Older campers and returning participants will learn how to belay, fostering trust and responsibility
Climbing Games: Favorites like Add-On, Twister Holds, and Obstacle Routes keep kids engaged while building agility and problem-solving skills
Off-the-Wall Activities
Arts and Crafts: Campers make tie-dye shirts, friendship bracelets, and climbing-themed keepsakes to take home
Group Games: Indoor board games and team-building challenges help develop social skills and teamwork
Outdoor Lawn Games: When the weather’s nice, we head outside for cornhole, giant Jenga, ladder ball, and more
Special Daily Themes and Events
Every day of the week features something special to keep the camp experience fresh and exciting
Monday: Intro to Climbing Basics - Get comfortable in the gym and on the wall

What Makes Our Summer Camp Stand Out
Small Group Sizes

Located just off exit 49S of the Long Island Expressway I-495 in Melville, NY, our indoor climbing gym offers more than 20,000 square feet of climbable terrain. That means no rainouts, no sunburns, just pure fun, no matter the weather.

Off-the-Wall Activities
Arts and Crafts: Campers make tie-dye shirts, friendship bracelets, and climbing-themed keepsakes to take home
Group Games: Indoor board games and team-building challenges help develop social skills and teamwork
Outdoor Lawn Games: When the weather’s nice, we head outside for cornhole, giant Jenga, ladder ball, and more

What Makes Our Summer Camp Stand Out
Small Group Sizes
We prioritize a low camper-to-instructor ratio to ensure that each child receives individual attention and support throughout the week. This allows us to tailor activities to each camper’s skill level and comfort zone, creating an inclusive experience for both new climbers and returning adventurers.
Indoor Facility Equals All Weather Fun
Located just off exit 49S of the Long Island Expressway I-495 in Melville, NY, our indoor climbing gym offers more than 20,000 square feet of climbable terrain. That means no rainouts, no sunburns, just pure fun, no matter the weather.
Activities at Summer Rocks Camp
Each day at Summer Rocks is packed with exciting activities that blend climbing instruction with imaginative play and creativity.
Climbing-Focused Fun
Bouldering and Top Rope Climbing: Campers explore different styles of climbing in a safe environment
Body Movement: Learn the basics of climbing technique, including footwork, balance, and hand placement
Knot Tying Workshops: Kids will practice tying essential climbing knots like the figure-eight follow-through and stopper knot
Belaying Skills: Older campers and returning participants will learn how to belay, fostering trust and responsibility
Climbing Games: Favorites like Add-On, Twister Holds, and Obstacle Routes keep kids engaged while building agility and problem-solving skills
Off-the-Wall Activities
Arts and Crafts: Campers make tie-dye shirts, friendship bracelets, and climbing-themed keepsakes to take home
Group Games: Indoor board games and team-building challenges help develop social skills and teamwork
Outdoor Lawn Games: When the weather’s nice, we head outside for cornhole, giant Jenga, ladder ball, and more
Special Daily Themes and Events
Every day of the week features something special to keep the camp experience fresh and exciting
Monday: Intro to Climbing Basics - Get comfortable in the gym and on the wall

What Makes Our Summer Camp Stand Out
Small Group Sizes

This allows us to tailor activities to each camper’s skill level and comfort zone, creating an inclusive experience for both new climbers and returning adventurers.
Indoor Facility Equals All Weather Fun
Located just off exit 49S of the Long Island Expressway I-495 in Melville, NY, our indoor climbing gym offers more than 20,000 square feet of climbable terrain. That means no rainouts, no sunburns, just pure fun, no matter the weather.

Off-the-Wall Activities
