Come celebrate climbing culture in the world class destination of Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, B.C., with us. Clinics are now on sale so secure your spot now!
Our vision and purpose remain the same - to provide a space where mountain runners and climbers of all disciplines can gather, learn, and share their love of the mountains. We invite outdoor enthusiasts from all walks of life to come together for 3 days of athlete inspired educational clinics and evenings filled with film premiers, presentations, live music and much more.
This summer, we’re excited to introduce our first ever kids programming at the Squamish Climb Academy.
From art camps, to rock-climbing programs, kids will have the opportunity to get involved in subsidized weekend activities.
 Registration is now open for parents and guardians participating in Academy clinics throughout the weekend.
Arc’teryx Academies are the pinnacle expression of the Arc'teryx brand in its truest form. Academies are purely focused on progression and education in the mountains.
Over the course of 3 days, we invite you to come and advance your skills learning from best-in-class athletes and guides. We provide various styles of clinics, there is something for everyone no matter your skill level.
After an epic day in the mountains, the community comes together for an evening of inspiration rooted in celebration of mountain culture through speakers, music and films. The heart and soul of the Academy is providing accessible mountain education and bringing the community together through a shared love and passion of the outdoors.
"Every year I leave the Arc'teryx Climb Academy feeling so inspired and even more psyched to climb - it's truly one of my favourite events of the year. A mountain festival with emphasis on learning and connecting makes for an amazing atmosphere of celebration and support. Fun fact, before I was an Arc'teryx athlete I learned to trad climb at an Academy clinic!"

"The Arc'teryx Climb Academy is a remarkably special weekend every year. It is the ultimate mountain festival, bringing people together from all walks of life, from across the world, and from varied experience levels. There is a sense of a collective goal to connect with the environment, relate with others, and grow together.
The Climb Academy provides endless opportunities to explore new skills in a controlled environment, push your comfort zone while being supported by some of the best in the world, and then celebrate afterwards with your new friends. Highlight of the year!!"
