Rock Climbing Camp 2023:
Camp Registration: SOAR Rock Camp!

What is Rock Camp?
Rock Camp is a session of SOAR Summer Camp that focuses specifically on rock climbing technique and technical skills. This camp is open to rising 6th, 7th, and 8th graders in the Cherry Creek School District. Alongside experienced adult staff and high school rock climbing leaders, participants will learn how to tie knots, belay, and be coached through various rock climbing skills. No experience is necessary and all levels are welcome!
This year, we are super excited to offer an opportunity for participants to climb on REAL rock in addition to a trip to a bouldering gym! Our last day of camp will be spent off-campus at a nearby climbing site and will go until 3 pm. The Creek Adventure Program will provide transportation to and from the sites for both off-campus trips.

Creek Adventure Program (CAP)


"Turn the classroom out-of-doors, put the students into motion, and force both students and teachers to come to grips with the healing power of direct experience."
Kurt Hahn (founder of Outward Bound)
The Creek Adventure Program (CAP) is a well designed blend of curricular classes, complemented by unique after school and co-curricular clubs. Creek Outdoor Leadership Training (C.O.L.T.) Club and Student Outdoor Adventure Representatives (S.O.A.R.) offer students the opportunity to learn and experience through intentionally planned outdoor and challenge course related events. Our curricular classes are designed to fuel co-curricular opportunities and real-world leadership experience. 

The Creek Adventure Programs consists of ten daily curricular classes and multiple after school and weekend co-curricular opportunities for students and adults. A refined, quality structure positively influences self-concept, leadership skills, critical thinking and positive social skills. Since 1988, the program has been recognized nationally as a premier Experiential Education-based program focusing on peer leadership through adventure and outdoor education. It is the peer leadership aspect that makes the program ground breaking education.  

In basic terms, our high school students have taken a sequence of classes and trainings that allow them to re-enter level one and two classes as the instructor.  These Leaders are the teachers and facilitators of their peers.  They design and evaluate curriculum; adapt curriculum to meet the needs of a variety of students; facilitate academic and personal growth; manage inter and intra-personal skills; provide academic and peer counseling; and role model higher level thinking.   

This program has established two clubs that are collaborative with each curricular class:
C.O.L.T. – Creek Outdoor Leadership Training

  • Indoor & outdoor rock & ice climbing
  • Climbing team
  • Backpacking
  • Mountain biking / team
  • Caving
