Update: June 13, 2008: Due to lack of registrations, we have cancelled Rock Camp Level 1 (June 22-27) this summer.

We are opening up the 10-day Rock Camp Level 2 (July 9-18) for beginner to advanced climbers ages 12-18, with no previous experience required. You'll get everything that is normally included in RC1, but with twice as many days climbing and enjoying activities. Scholarship funds are still available at this time, so if the cost is an issue we encourage you to apply for a scholarship.
