Hello, Summer!

Hello Parents and Campers,

Hoosier Heights Bloomington is excited to host another summer packed full of fun and climbing at our summer camps! We will be providing week-long camps beginning on May 26th and ending on August 1st with a one week break for the week of July 4th. Camps will run Monday through Friday 10:00am through 4:00pm and be open to campers ages 7 through 14. There is a 3 participant registration minimum per a week in order to run camps as scheduled and a maximum registration of 15 participants per week. 

Camper drop off and check-in begins at 9:40am. Parents and guardians must walk their campers into the facility each day to ensure that they are signed in properly. When picking up your camper at the end of the day, you will also be required to come into the facility and sign out your child. If someone other than yourself is picking up your child, you will need to notify staff during drop off in the morning and then the individual will be asked to show photo ID before they are able to pick up the child in the afternoon. Camper pick up is at 4:00pm. 

Please make sure you are setting up your camper for success by ensuring they arrive everyday with everything they need:

- Campers should wear athletic clothing for climbing and other physical activities

- Wear a pair of tennis shoes for other activities and to wear while they are not climbing

- Campers should arrive at camp having eaten breakfast so that they are ready to start their fun day of activities

- Climbing shoes and harnesses will be provided but campers are welcome to bring their own climbing shoes and harness if they have them

- Campers must bring their own sack lunch, water bottle, and snacks each day

- Some weeks there may be additional activities like a water day or tie dye which may require extra supplies, counselors will send reminders home with campers the day before such events

Our daily schedule will vary to accommodate different activities but throughout the week campers will work on improving their climbing technique and knowledge, work on climbs in both the ropes room and bouldering rooms, play climbing games, participate in crafts, workout, do yoga, and participate in scavenger hunts and other activities and games throughout the facility. The daily schedule we will follow will look roughly like this:

9:40am - 10:00am Drop off and Check In

10:00am - 10:30am Stretching and Games to Warm Up
