Let's Build Something Amazing Together
In celebration of Rocky Mountain Village's 75th anniversary we are reaching new heights and are asking for your support toward our Climbing Tower Campaign.
Every summer, Rocky Mountain Village campers discover courage they didn’t know they had. With your help, we can give them a brand‑new place to grow, explore, and climb toward their potential — a professionally built climbing tower designed for all ages and abilities.
It is expected that the climbing tower will not pass inspection in early 2027 before summer camp begins. The climbing tower is such a vital part of what we offer and one of the most loved activities among campers and includes access to the zip-line. It will take approximately six (6) months to complete the climbing tower once funds are raised.
What this Tower Brings to Camp
A Safe, Modern Adventure Experience. The tower offers multiple climbing routes for all skill levels, ensuring every camper living with any disability can participate.
Skill‑Building for All Ages. Climbing teaches problem‑solving, perseverance, trust and teamwork, and physical strength and coordination. These are lessons that stay with campers long after camp ends.
A Centerpiece for Outdoor Fun. The climbing tower is a signature part of our camp — a place where friendships form, fears are overcome, and unforgettable memories are made.
Our Goal
Climb new heights with us and help Rocky Mountain Village raise $120,000 for its climbing tower. The funds raised will cover:
- Design and Permitting
- Construction and installation
- Safety equipment and harnesses
Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to giving campers an experience they’ll never forget.

An increasingly popular charitable vehicle, DAFs are an excellent way to both simplify your charitable giving and facilitate your strategic philanthropic goals. Learn more by clicking HERE.
