Camp Overview

Take your climbing to the next level at our nationally acclaimed Pre-Nationals Training Camp. Train alongside elite coaches and setters in a structured, high-performance environment designed to prepare athletes for National-level competition.

Athletes will refine skills across all three disciplines—Bouldering, Lead/TR, and Speed—while also participating in targeted cross-training focused on strength, endurance, agility, and movement efficiency.

With hands-on coaching and a carefully structured daily schedule, athletes will leave camp confident, prepared, and motivated. Training takes place on 8,000 sq. ft. of bouldering terrain, 60+ ft sport walls, and a 15-meter speed wall, all designed to push performance to the next level.
