Camp Calleva

Love this camp! The children I nanny for went here for a week and had a blast. They went through explorers and just could not have been happier. They told me they wished they could have gone another week. I highly recommend :)

Disappointing climbing camp. Climbing twice in a day with a 4:1 student to counselor ratio? Instructors couldn’t even figure out how to use an x back chest harness on my kid. Training seems woefully lacking. Line management so kids get plenty of climbing time seems equally lacking.
Our kids have been going to Caleva for years and had great fun, but this last experience really makes me wonder about the experience level of their instructors. AMGA? Probably not. What concerns me is that their climbing instructors might just be kids who have been climbing for a few years and passed an internal belay and anchor class.
I passed my concerns to a few local climbing instructors who relayed similar complaints about Caleva but thought not using an x back on a kid might not be that common.

amazing! great staff. has a ton of fantastic activities like kayaking, rock climbing, horseback riding, etc. i love this camp, it is the highlight of my summer.
