Important / Additional Info

Hello Parents & Campers,

We are very excited to be hosting Climbing Day Camps this Winter here at Hoosier Heights Indianapolis on December 22nd, 23rd, 26th, 29th, and 30th and January 2nd. Each day of Winter Camp runs from 8:30am-2:30pm. Registration is available for campers ages of 7-14 years old.
There is a 6 participant registration minimum per day to run as scheduled and a 20 participant maximum registration placed per day. If your camper can only attend 1, 2, or all 5 days of camp, you have the flexibility to sign them up for the dates that work for you.
Here is our base schedule for each day of camp that our counselors will reference. Depending on the day, the activities will vary.

Camper drop off starts at 8:30AM. Please walk your camper into the gym and check them in at the front desk with staff each morning. When dropping off your camper the first day you will be asked to check them in on a paper, camper sign-in-sign-out sheet, this is where you will list the 2 individuals other than yourself who you approve to pick up your child from camp throughout the week. When coming to pick up your child each day, you must enter the gym to retrieve your camper. The individual picking up your child must be on your approved list and provide their driver's license to verify identification for pick up. No camper will be released to an individual without verification of identity. Climber pick up is at 2:30PM.

Each morning before dropping off your camper please ensure they have all the items that they may need for the entirety of the camp day.

Checklist for Each day of Camp:
- Campers should wear athletic clothing for climbing and other physical activities
- Wear a pair of tennis shoes for outdoor activities and to wear while they are not climbing.
- Climbing shoes will be provided for use during camp, as supplies last. - (If your climber has their own harness and climbing shoes, they are welcome to bring them for use during camp.)
- Campers must bring a water bottle and a sack lunch
- (a refrigerator is available for use if needed).

The campers will not get split up, by age or skill level. We have found that in the 7-14 age range, all ages together do better during camp while around older and younger children. We do have multiple councilors during the week of camp so that they can group up and separate by desired activity if there are campers wanting to focus on different things, sometimes throughout the day.
