Whether you already love climbing or want to immerse yourself in it for the first time, this is the camp for you! Come master the challenge of the rock in a safe and supportive environment. Campers will climb at Morse Hill and at a variety of outdoor sites in the surrounding area, learning basic rock and rope craft, rappelling and climbing techniques, belaying and safety protocols. After each day’s climb, we will cool off by sliding down natural water slides or jumping into refreshing streams.
Please note that each camp week has a different age/grade level range.
Readiness:
- Be able to go climbing all days.
- Our staff-to-camper ratio in Climb Camp is 6-1, and your camper will be most successful if they've done well with that ratio of counselor supervision in other settings.

Payment Policies
Please note that this coming year, you will see a convenience fee added to your transactions for credit card purchases which is a change from previous years. We highly encourage you to pay by personal check when possible; there is a coupon code to enter during registration to bypass credit card payments and avoid these fees, which go directly to the credit card companies. We welcome check payments and you can contact us for a payment plan or set one up with CampDoc if needed!
We are trying to make Morse Hill accessible to more families, so we will use a sliding scale again this summer. In order to provide the best experience possible for campers and offer a fair wage to our staff, our sliding payment scale should more fairly distribute the cost of summer camp. All camps are listed at their base cost, with increases to the base cost based on self-attested income. We appreciate your understanding as we work to provide a more equitable model for our families and community.
We have included many coupons to help you save money, such as paying early, paying with a personal check, multi camp discounts and sibling discounts. We also offer scholarships to families on a need basis. To apply, please reach us at summer@morsehill.com and our office staff will assist you in the application process.
Lastly, we ask for a 1/3 deposit so you do not have to pay so much up front. Payment in full is due 30 days ahead of camp start date.
PAY BY CHECK TO AVOID CREDIT CARD FEES.
ADDITIONAL $13 OFF FOR PAYING IN FULL 2 MONTHS BEFORE CAMP STARTS, SIBLING CAMPER OR MULTI CAMPS.
