About Adrenaline Climbing Summer Camp
Adrenaline Climbing's award-winning Summer Camp program introduces campers ages 8-14 to outdoor adventure through exciting field trips and active experiences throughout North Georgia.
Named Best Day Camp and Best Summer Camp by multiple local publications, our program focuses on helping kids build confidence, independence, respect for others, and a love for outdoor adventure.
Camp activities may include:
- Swimming
