Looking for a summer camp that your little one — and you — will love?

Imagine having a worry-free week knowing your kids are safe, active and happy in a summer camp they love…  And that your kids are gaining important life skills that will boost their confidence and self-esteem!

Remember the last time your kids went to a new summer camp?

You go pick them up and ask, “So, how was your first day? Did you do anything fun?” Their faces light up, their hands fly with excitement and they talk your ear off — all – the – way – home!

But by Wednesday, no more happy campers… the kids are bored.

Where can you find a summer camp that isn’t boring after the first few days?

Yes… finding an exciting summer camp for your kids can be difficult. You never know if they will really like it or not. The last thing you want is a call at work saying there’s been a problem, or your child isn’t participating, or he’s acting out.

The key is to find a summer camp with plenty of age-specific activities that keep them engaged. One that’s unique, fun, and challenges them a little differently each day.

You certainly don’t want a summer camp that’s run like daycare, right?

The last thing you want is a summer camp run like a daycare with cheesy or boring activities, or one that uses movies and video games all day just to kill the time. If a summer camp doesn’t offer multiple activities or a variety of cool things for the kids to do they’ll get bored and lose interest.

Some climbing time and activities will be done with everyone as a large group, other times they will be divided up by age ranges. We’ll make sure there are plenty of activities for everyone

“You know it’s a good camp when

you come to pick up your kids

and they don’t want to leave!”

Summer Camp FAQs:

When does summer camp start?

The first single days of summer camp starts late May (exact dates TBA) and will run through mid August (TBA). Full Weeks will start on June 3rd.

What ages do you accept for camp?

Camp is designed for 7 to 17 year-olds. We can take five or six year-olds but only if an older sibling is also in camp that day. Sorry, we can NOT accept children younger than five.

What about lunch, water, and snacks?

Please be sure to pack your child a healthy lunch, a drink, and at least two snacks. A water bottle is also a great idea so they can refill from the water fountain throughout the day. There are also snacks and drinks available for purchase at the gym.

What time is drop off and pick up for the day?

You can drop off your child between 7:30am and 9am. Pick-up is between 4pm and 5pm. Late pick-up (between 5pm and 6pm) is available for an additional $10 per day.

Can I drop off early? Or pick up late?

We are not able to receive campers before 7:30am. We do offer a late pickup option, extending the pickup time to 6:00 pm for an additional $10 a day.

What do they need to wear?

We recommend campers wear clothes that are comfortable to move in… not too baggy, not too tight, as well as athletic sneakers. Please, no skirts without shorts for the young ladies. Fridays bring swimwear if you want to participate in the water activities.

Can my child attend multiple weeks?

Absolutely! We have several kids that spend every week of summer here at the gym. They have a blast because a new group of kids starts every week, and as they get better new climbing routes open up giving them new challenges. 

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to the entire staff at the Texas Rock Gym for creating such a positive experience for my son Aaron. Last summer, I signed Aaron up for one week of camp. I chose the Texas Rock Gym because it would allow him to do physical activity in the air conditioning. I expected that he would attend one week of camp at the Texas Rock Gym and then continue with the other camps that I had already scheduled for the remainder of the summer.

To my great surprise, he insisted that we cancel all of his previously scheduled commitments for the summer so that he could attend camp each week at the Texas Rock Gym! He also insisted that I sign him up for the team! He has thoroughly enjoyed participating on the team throughout the school year and counted down the days until the start of summer camp! He has developed a true passion for rock climbing, and I credit this 100% to your professional and caring staff.

Every day, your staff members greet Aaron with a big smile, and it is clear that the staff enjoy working with the children. Your staff members make Aaron feel good about himself each day and create a positive environment for the children. Aaron has been provided with some additional responsibilities at camp, and this gesture by the staff means so much to him.

We greatly appreciate what you and your staff do each day to build the confidence of your campers and team members, and we highly recommend the Texas Rock Gym to everyone. Thank you again for creating such a positive environment for the children!

Texas Rock Gym and Summer Camp did an amazing job with my daughter last year. We had enjoyed the usual introduction to climbing at various fairs, playgrounds, and events, not to mention the occasional tree, but nothing compares to this awesome facility and its wonderful staff.
 
We first visited together for a great Daddy/Daughter time on Father’s Day and when we heard about the program to increase her exposure to climbing, I knew that it would be a great experience for her, but they exceeded my expectations.
 
Every day she came home with a new personal record for “topping out”, but also with great stories about new friends made and the games that they played in between climbs. She can’t wait for this year’s camp to begin and we look forward to her having a great time with people who care for kids so well.

Texas Rock Gym has a great staff and a wondrous camp for kiddos. My two kids, ages 7 and 10, loved it from the get-go. The staff works with the children on an individual level, so the kids can progress at their own pace over the week or weeks that they camp.

Very reasonably priced. Everyone is encouraging and friendly here. The facility is clean and inviting. Kids learn how to boulder and climb with a harness. There are also fun games and discussion about safety. I’m forty-something and am seriously considering rock climbing now. Kids and staff make it seem like something I could actually take on. Love this place.

I used to dread arranging summer camps for my two kids – 10 and 6 years old. Other camps we tried were boring or too hot, or just wouldn’t work for us because they didn’t have hours convenient to me as a working parent. But that changed after I discovered summer camp at Texas Rock Gym a few years ago.

We went in whole hog! After our first summer there, my oldest child didn’t want to go to any other camp and my youngest, who was too young at the time, was begging to go. We keep coming back every year because they love the climbing, the group activities, and the staff.

I love TRG because the kids get to move their bodies and challenge themselves every day. I love that TRG incorporates group games and activities into its program that develop important team working skills. I love that TRG has an awesome staff that really connects with the kids and treats them as individuals. And I love that by the end of the summer my kids are stronger and more confident. It’s such a great place that I wish I could go to summer camp there, too!
