Rock Climbing Summer Camps at Upper Limits

Upper Limits Summer Camps are created by climbers, for climbers. Five-day sessions start in June and are organized into two age groups: Rock Dwellers (ages 7-10) and Cliff Hangers (ages 11-15). Full-day and half-day options are available for both age groups at all St. Louis locations:1874 Lackland Hill Parkway, Maryland Heights, 63146, and 17375 Edison Avenue, Chesterfield, 63005. Each age group alternates schedules so there is always an option available for your kids! BONUS: Every camper, no matter what session they are in, will get to tie-dye their very own Upper Limits t-shirt!
