Cirque Scramblers Summer Programs

Cirque Scramblers Summer Climbing Programs

Join us for five days of climbing, adventure, and fun in the outdoors! Our summer programs are designed for young climbers who are excited to spend their days outside, make new friends, and build confidence on the rock.

Each day, we head to a different climbing area around Durango, giving kids the chance to explore new places and experience a variety of climbing styles and challenges. Along the way, they’ll learn new skills, work together, and grow their confidence and independence.

We also offer a half-day option from 9:00 AM–12:00 PM, which covers the main outdoor climbing portion of each day.
