Summer Climbing Programs

Sometimes we feel like adventure requires a long journey or novel destination, when really, adventure is more about perspective than place. At Scrapyard, we think adventure is closer than you imagine.

Full Day Climbing & Urban Adventure Camp

Full days start with our campers in the gym with small group instruction, climbing games, and coach mentorship. For new and younger climbers, instruction focuses on fun, confidence, trust, and goal setting. With intermediate and older climbers, instruction focuses on more advanced techniques and building upon prior knowledge and confidence.

After lunch, campers enjoy opportunities to experience downtown Holland in new ways through its art, food, biking and natural areas.

VeloKids Bike and Climb Camps

We’ve partnered with VeloKids to provide a full day bike and climbing adventure. Kids will explore the urban and natural areas around downtown Holland and Window on the Waterfront in the morning and get up on our climbing walls in the afternoon.

**Camps are offered for students 3-5th grade and 6-8th grade.**

Urban Adventures are being finalized and may include:

  • An art workshop with a local artist
  • A bike and bites tour of some of downtown’s most historic landmarks and tastiest treats
  • Exploring the local plants and wildlife of nearby natural areas with a local naturalist

*While adventures are still being finalized. 6-8th grade camp may involve different drop off/pick-up points to accommodate more fun and epic adventures! More details coming soon.
