Junior Skaha Bluffs Climbing Trip

Ages 6 to 12. Two Monday to Friday weeks, March 15-19 and March 22-26, 2027. $1,799 per person at Wright's Beach. Pickups in the Sea-to-Sky, Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley, and Hope, and anywhere else along the drive from Squamish to the Okanagan.

A top-rope week for ages 6 to 12, with pickups in the Sea-to-Sky, Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley, Hope, and anywhere on the way

The Junior trip is for ages 6 to 12, with 6 spots. Days are top-rope: movement, belaying, knots, rappelling, and the ordinary work of living at camp.

Skaha Bluffs is sunny and dry, which makes March break a good time to leave Squamish while it is still wet. For many of these climbers, this is their first climbing road trip.

Parents are welcome, climbing alongside their kids or helping with camp. Parents get 20% off with code SKAHAPARENT20. Tell us when you book so we can plan vehicle space and tent sites.

Jesse Godlington, our owner and founder, spent years instructing at the Bluffs and knows the area well: which walls get sun, where to get out of the wind, and good lines for every ability. That local knowledge shapes how we choose terrain each day.

Both weeks follow this Monday to Friday plan, March 15-19 and March 22-26, 2027. The second week includes Good Friday. $1,799 per person.

Itinerary

Day 1 Mon: Travel and First Climbs

Squamish to Skaha Bluffs. Morning departure. We leave Squamish on Monday morning, load the vans, and pick up climbers along the way. That includes the Sea-to-Sky, the Lower Mainland, the Fraser Valley, and Hope, and anywhere else on the drive to the Okanagan. Stops are confirmed when you book. At Wright's Beach Camp on Skaha Lake we set up camp, eat, and go over how the week runs. The afternoon is the first session on the rock. Guides choose easy terrain for the group's ability and for the conditions: short top-rope laps, harness and knot checks, and time to get used to moving on gneiss.

Day 2 Tue: Movement and Belay

Skaha Bluffs Provincial Park. 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. A full day of top-rope. The morning is footwork, balance, and smooth movement. The afternoon stays with routes that suit the group so climbers can practice belaying, knots, and the habits that keep a group safe at the base. Guides choose the walls for ability and conditions, and they move the group if the weather changes. Dinner and camp chores back at Wright's Beach.

Day 3 Wed: Longer Climbs and Rappelling

Skaha Bluffs Provincial Park. 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. The climbing steps up. Longer top-rope pitches, more time rappelling, and more practice tying in and checking a partner's knot. Guides choose steeper or easier terrain based on how the group is climbing and what the conditions are doing. We are back at Wright's Beach for dinner and a fire.

Day 4 Thu: Practice Day

Skaha Bluffs Provincial Park. 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Another full day on terrain chosen for the group's ability and the day's conditions. Climbers work movement and belay skills, take another turn rappelling, and spend time on routes they want to try again. The evening is chores, dinner, and a fire at camp.

Day 5 Fri: Pack Up, Final Climbs, and the Drive Home

Skaha Bluffs, then home to Squamish. Morning pack-up, then home. We pack up camp in the morning. Then we go out for a last session on terrain that fits the group and the conditions. After that we drive home to Squamish and drop climbers along the way. Both weeks use this plan. The second week includes Good Friday.

Crags we may visit

We choose the area each day for the group's ability and the conditions. Daycare, Red Tail, Fern Gully.
