Winter Training Camp (WTC)
December 27, 2026 – January 3, 2027
Our Winter Training Camp is where passion, skill development, and competitive preparation come together. Designed for dedicated youth climbers, WTC provides athletes with an immersive training experience led by Team CRG's experienced coaching staff alongside guest coaches and setters from around the world.
Throughout the camp, athletes will train on high-quality competition-style terrain while developing the technical, tactical, physical, and mental skills necessary for success in competition. Whether focusing exclusively on bouldering or participating in our combined bouldering, speed, and lead/top rope option, athletes will receive expert instruction in an environment designed to challenge, motivate, and inspire.
Beyond the climbing, WTC is an opportunity for athletes from across the country to train together, build friendships, and become part of a supportive community united by a shared passion for the sport. The connections, experiences, and lessons gained during camp often extend far beyond the competition season.
Our internationally recognized training camps have helped athletes at every level prepare for Regional, Divisional, National, and international competition. Through carefully planned training sessions, world-class setting, and individualized coaching support, we strive to help every athlete maximize their potential and leave camp more confident, prepared, and excited for the season ahead.
Registration for the 2026 Winter Training Camp will open on July 30 for Team CRG athletes and August 1 for non-Team CRG athletes.
