performance rock climbing summer camps for ages 14-18 in kalymnos, greece
2026 camp - August 3 - 14 (8 spots remaining)
Kalymnos is home to over 4000 bolted limestone routes ranging from more technical faces to long and steep tufa lines. Knee bar pads are a must, as Kalymnos is home to some of the most iconic tufa cave routes in the world. The Aegean sea is visible from almost all crags that rise above the small beach towns below. It is an ideal location that combines a beach vacation and world-class rock climbing. Rest days will include a boat adventure around the island and exploring Pothia, known for its rich history of sponge diving. One climbing day will be spent deep water soloing.
