Climb with us.
Climb & Camp creates professionally guided climbing retreats where BIPOC climbers can learn, grow, and experience the outdoors in a welcoming, supportive environment.
Find your community.
Discover your confidence.
Experience climbing in a space where you belong.
Founded and led by professional climber and AMGA-certified guide Genevive Walker, We Camp We Climb is grounded in access, care, and belonging in outdoor spaces. These retreats prioritize safety, consent, and supportive learning environments, helping people not only develop climbing skills but also feel more at home and confident in the outdoors.
Through expert instruction, shared adventure, and meaningful connection, we create experiences where participants can challenge themselves, build confidence, and discover a deeper sense of belonging in the outdoors.
Our guides are eager to cater to each experience, blending guided climbing, hands-on instruction, and intentional time in nature to support participants at every level, from first-time climbers to those refining technical skills.
Each Climb & Camp retreat is designed to combine high-quality climbing instruction with meaningful community experiences. Explore upcoming destinations and find the adventure that's right for you.
Upcoming Retreats
Red River Gorge, KY
Oct 10-12
Set in the deep woods of the Red River Gorge is a beautiful landscape of arches and amphitheaters surrounded by steep sandstone cliffs. The Red is known for its unique rock and gym-style climbing, which makes it a destination for many.
Why Us
Learn from AMGA-certified guides who prioritize safety, education, and personalized coaching.
Build lasting friendships with other BIPOC climbers through shared experiences both on and off the rock.
Explore incredible climbing destinations while developing confidence, skills, and a deeper connection to the outdoors.
What to Expect
Our retreats are designed to bring you closer to the rock, the land, and a supportive community of climbers.
Depending on the retreat, accommodations may include community-style camping or shared boutique lodging near the climbing areas. All experiences include a shared dinner and time to connect outside of climbing.
Each day is spent outdoors with professional AMGA-certified guides who tailor instruction to your experience level. You’ll receive hands-on coaching whether you're learning the basics or building on existing skills.
More than anything, these retreats are about slowing down, building confidence, and sharing meaningful time in community.
