Description
Bouldering Camp Fontainebleau
Ready for a week of climbing, nature, and real summer camp vibes?
This bouldering camp takes you to one of the world’s most iconic climbing destinations: the magical forest of Fontainebleau, France.
It’s all about bouldering, being outdoors, and creating unforgettable memories together. With guidance from experienced rock climbers, you’ll dive into outdoor bouldering, working on technique, route reading, and movement on real rock. Beyond climbing, we’ll camp in nature, cook together, and hang out by the pool, volleyball court, and the ĀTMA Boulder Basecamp.
A week packed with sport, adventure, and good vibes, are you in?
What to expect
Epic Climbing Sessions
Every day we head out to some of the best boulders Fontainebleau has to offer. With expert guidance, you’ll refine your technique and gain confidence on real rock.
Camping & Basecamp Vibes
We stay at Camping La Musardière, with a swimming pool, volleyball field, and our own ĀTMA Boulder Basecamp as the main chill-out zone.
Good Food, Good Company
We cook and eat together every day — delicious, 100% vegetarian (vegan-friendly) meals to keep you fueled.
Time to Unwind
Post-climb afternoons are for relaxing: swimming, volleyball, games, or simply hanging out at basecamp.
Who are we?
Jörg Franken and Tiba Vroom — experienced climbers and coaches based in Leiden and Fontainebleau — will guide the camp. There’s always someone on site with a valid first aid certification.
