FAQs

For Intro to Rock, priority is given to campers who have the least amount of previous rock climbing experience. The rest of the spots will be filled by lottery selection. As an organization, we want to give experiences to as many new campers as possible.
-
Intro to Rock is located at The Feathers at Frenchman Coulee in Coulee, WA, so service may be spotty or nonexistent at times. Given this, we still encourage limiting phone usage to necessary contact with parents/guardians. This is in an effort to prioritize engagement with peers and the outdoors. Campers are also welcome to leave their devices at home.
