Learn to Boulder - Fall 2025

Learn to Boulder is a 3-week program geared to climbers of all skill levels. The program allows climbers to enhance coordination, strength and focus through games and activities on the Hamel Recreation Center's Bouldering Wall.

There are two sessions available for students in grades 2-6. Each session offers an overview of body movement, footwork, falling, and spotting followed by guided practice. Sneakers are required.

Space is limited - enroll early to guarantee your spot!

All sessions are held at the UNH Hamel Recreation Center, 5 Edgewood Rd., Durham, NH. Additional information including drop off and pick up will be sent via email from the Campus Recreation staff the day before the session begins.

Campus Recreation does not offer refunds for Learn to Boulder, including missed sessions.

Click the '+' on your desired registration block(s) to enroll. Review the Online Registration Instructions before enrolling for the best outcome. This includes instructions for creating a Family or Student/Individual account.

Family Accounts are recommended for enrolling multiple children from one family in any UNH Youth Program. If you already have an account in our system, you will be asked to log into either a Family or Student Account after adding the program to your shopping cart. Be sure to use the username and password for the type of account you wish to log into. We recommend attempting to log into the Student or Family account before enrollment opens as this will minimize difficulty and time while enrolling. Email youth.programs@unh.edu if you require assistance recovering your account information. Do not create a new account if you have one already.

If you don't have an account already, you can set up an account at any time, even before you begin the registration process. If creating a student account, the account profile should be in the name of the participating student, but the email should be that of a parent/guardian. Review the Online Registration Instructions before creating a new account.

UNH has partnered with CampDoc to quicken the enrollment process. Enrollments and payments are done here through our current enrollment system, but no registration questions will be required at that time. Those will be completed through the CampDoc supplemental software.

Within a few days of enrolling, the email address provided on the student/family account will receive an invitation or reminder email notification from “University of New Hampshire via CampDoc.” Due to very brief timelines between enrollment and the program start date, it is important that a parent/guardian respond to the CampDoc email and complete the registration questions promptly. Even if the student already has a CampDoc account, a parent/guardian will need to log into the student's account to complete any necessary questions for this program, and to review and re-sign some waivers. 

A participant’s CampDoc profile must be 100% complete before they can attend the program.

If you need help logging into CampDoc, call the support line at 734-619-8300, option 2.
