Youth Rock Climbing Camp with Bighorn Mountain Guides

This entry level rock climbing course is designed to teach kids about basic knots, belay techniques, rappelling, top-rope climbing, and Leave No Trace ethics in the Bighorn Mountains. All participants will be supplied with the climbing gear needed for the course. Climbing will be hosted at various rock-climbing crags in the Sheridan/Bighorn Mountains area. These trips are possible through a permit with the Bighorn National Forest.
