Overnight Climbing Guide

May - August 2019 • Mills River, NC

What I liked

I had a great group of directors and costaff that made my first summer experience incredible. They trained me very well and offered opportunities before camp to further my climbing skills by helping me with a single pitch instructor guide course. I quickly felt like we were all a family and I was given plenty of room to become an instructor through patience and affirmation.

What I wish was different

I really have nothing to say on how I wish it went different. I loved every minute I spent at camp and thoroughly enjoyed the outings. If I were to change something, it would be to have longer off Camp trips so I would have more time to show the campers the joys of climbing and get to know them a little better.

Advice

Happiness is only real when shared meaning ask for advice, meet friends, and use this experience to step out of your comfort zone. Everybody was so welcoming and I found I had the most enjoyable time when it was spent with others at camp.
