SUMMER CAMP DETAILS
Who is it for?
Designed for climbers who have experience in indoor climbing (bouldering or sport climbing) but lack outdoor rock climbing experience. It’s also perfect for those who want to try trad climbing for the first time or have dabbled in it before but want to continue learning. It’s not for expert climbers, but rather for those who are eager to experience the thrill of outdoor climbing in a relaxed, fun atmosphere.
Group Size
Maximum of 8 people.
We keep the group size small to ensure a more personalized and intimate experience. With a maximum of 8 people, you'll get individual attention from our guide, allowing for a more tailored approach to climbing, as well as creating a close-knit group where everyone can connect and share the adventure.
Duration
5 days, from Monday to Friday.
This gives you the perfect amount of time to immerse yourself in the beauty of Lofoten while honing your climbing skills.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is transport included?
The nearest airport is Leknes Airport (LKN), about a 15‑minute drive from Stamsund Hostel. If you arrive at Leknes, we’re happy to pick you up and bring you directly to the hostel at no extra cost.
There are two other airports in the Lofoten region:
-
Svolvær Airport (SVJ) – about 1 h 15 min by car to Stamsund.
-
Evenes/Harstad-Narvik Airport (EVE) – about 3 h 45 min by car to Stamsund.
If you fly into Svolvær or Evenes, you will need to rent a car to reach us. Although the drive is longer, the scenery along the fjords and mountain passes is spectacular and well worth it.
For the daily activities (climbing, boulder and hiking departures), participants will also need access to a vehicle. You can arrange car rental directly through Stamsund Hostel at a discounted rate, and we recommend sharing one rental car among two to four people to reduce costs.
Is food included?
Meals are not included in the camp price. However, there’s a supermarket just a 5‑minute walk from Stamsund Hostel, and the hostel provides a fully equipped kitchen where you can cook together and share meals with your fellow participants.
Do I need my own equipment?
All climbing gear is included in the camp price (harnesses, helmets, crash pads, ropes, trad protection, and more). However, if you have your own personal equipment (harness, helmet, shoes, etc.), we recommend bringing it for the best fit and comfort.
What should I bring?
-
Appropriate clothing for outdoor activities
-
Hiking boots and climbing shoes
-
Warm waterproof jacket (weather here can change quickly, even in summer).
-
Personal climbing gear (harness, helmet, etc.) if you have it
-
Towel and swimwear for sauna and paddleboarding
-
Reusable water bottle and sunscreen
Do I need accident insurance?
The camp does not include accident insurance. Participants must have their own valid mountain activity insurance.
Is this camp for me?
This camp is designed for intermediate climbers (those who routinely send 5a–6c (5.8–5.10) on gym walls or sport routes) and who are ready to make the leap onto real rock.
You’ll benefit most if you already feel comfortable clipping quickdraws and moving confidently on vertical terrain, but want hands‑on experience placing trad gear, managing anchors, and climbing in an inspiring Arctic environment.
