Yo! Basecamp Climbing Camp was founded in 1998 by husband-and-wife team Andy and Lisa Puhvel with the goal of getting kids properly grounded in the fundamentals of outdoor rock climbing. With the emergence of indoor climbing gyms throughout the country, these two teachers and lifelong climbers saw the need for a summer camp where kids who love climbing could experience outdoor rock climbing in paradise. Since then Yo! Basecamp has expanded to offer Adventure Sports Camps, giving kids the opportunity to do more fantastic activities in the glorious mountains of California: mountain biking on state-of-the-art, full-suspension bikes; kayaking unique lakes; hiking through pristine alpine forests; and climbing and bouldering at world-famous areas.
The Sierra Nevada Mountains of California are home to some of the best rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, and kayaking on the planet. For many kids who attend Yo! Basecamp, the Sierra have become a home away from home – a place where rock, sky, water, and fresh air meet to create a magical playground of pure fun. Whether the kids are on an Adventure Sports Camp, a Chris Sharma Bouldering Camp, or a High Sierra Climbing Camp, they are sure to experience some of the best outdoor moments of their lives. Our expert instructors focus on guiding youngsters in the skills, mental state, and activities that make them feel good about themselves, giving them the best rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, or kayaking experience possible. The safety techniques that kids are taught at camp become the building blocks of their foundation as safe outdoorspeople. In the great outdoors, safety can encompass many things: walking consciously to the crag on established trails; evaluating the flatness of a boulder problem's landing zone; staying hydrated while being active; and much, much more.
At Yo! Basecamp, kids find that summer camp has never been so much fun. All the things that make outdoor sports are included on every Yo! Basecamp course: exciting activities; supportive, friendly people (both the staff and the campers); delicious food; and a beautiful place. Yo! Basecamp could very well be kids’ heaven on Earth!
