About the Urban Core Program
There are life lessons that children of all ages and abilities can learn about themselves and each other through climbing. The Urban Core Climbing Summer Camp Series is an alternative and progressive summer camp program that gives young climbers a chance to sharpen their skills, meet new people, and most importantly, have fun. We stress safety awareness, cooperative group dynamics, and promote personal responsibility in a safe experiential learning environment. The UCC Summer Camp Series offers a full itinerary of recreational and instructional programs to help every young rock climber meet individual goals.
Our Summer Rock Climbing Camp Series aims to expose kids to the basic skills of rock climbing and life lessons. Urban Core Climbing Programs are holistic and progressively about self confidence, teamwork, communication, diversity, establishing goals and working towards them. In our unique setting, our students experience the results of their own actions. They meet challenges, experience difficulties, and exult in success. Empowered by their own personal experience, they leave our camp experience stronger, more focused, and ready to meet, challenge and change struggles their daily lives. Urban Core Climbing Camps serves the youth community in and around the Atlanta area. The Urban Core Climbing Summer Camp Series is affordable!!! We offer multi-child discounts, early payment discounts and financial scholarship assistance.
Our Staff
Urban Core Climbing staff is supportive and encouraging. We deeply believe in the power of adventure to enrich and guide young lives. It is our task to make that experience happen in constructive and nourishing ways. Our camp staff is more than just guides --they are role models. All are mature, outgoing and committed to the UCC purpose. We build on their rich personal experience with extensive staff training. We strive by role modeling and direct action to teach the importance to have passion, compassion and integrity in our daily lives, hoping that our future leaders will be able to make decisions that come from their hearts as well as their minds. All staff members have First Aid/CPR certification and our senior guide has college degrees in education, and is certified by the AMGA and Wilderness First Responders.
The Facility
At the indoor walls, we can control the climbing climate and climbing terrain, ensuring that each child can progress in a controlled environment where we can give the attention, guidance, and instruction they need to succeed. Indoor Urban Core Climbing programs are held in the largest climbing facility and training center in the nation, Stone Summit Climbing Gym & Fitness Center. The environments are clean and operated in a safe and professional manner.
