Top Rope Belay

The Top Rope Belay Clinic is the perfect workshop to expand your rock climbing skills.  This clinic helps you avoid the waiting list and teaches you how to effectively belay your climbing partner.  What is belaying?  Belaying is a technique that protects a climber through the use of rope, harnesses, anchors, carabiners and mechanical friction. The climber’s partner, the belayer, uses this technique to catch, hold, and lower the climber should they fall.  Climbing equipment is included for clinic participants, but spots are limited.

Introduction to Climbing Movement and Technique

Whether you can do fifty pull-ups or none, this clinic will enhance your rock climbing technique beyond belief.  In two short hours, you will learn climbing terminology, proper bouldering and spotting techniques, and how to incorporate balance and core strength into your climbing.

Backpacking 101

Are you ready to put more on your back than just your textbooks and laptops?  Then come join this workshop where we will cover the essential items to carry, and how to make it all fit.  Instructors in this clinic will help you make the difference in your trip from having an ok time, to a memorable experience.

Kayaking 101

Are you ready to cool down and get in the water?  Come check out our kayaking clinic on Lake Nasworthy and learn the ins and outs of paddling.  Whether you are just looking to cruise around, or you are dying to practice your roll, this clinic is for you!  Kayaks, paddles, and life jackets are available to clinic participants, but there are a limited number of spots.
