Here's what Athens & Oconee families say about the APEX Crew:

Camp APEX is new this summer — but the APEX Crew has been earning 5-star reviews from families across the Athens area since day one.

“The APEX Crew is absolutely incredible with kids. My daughter lit up every single time she came in. The staff genuinely care about every child and it shows in everything they do.”

S

“We've tried a lot of gyms and programs in Athens and nothing comes close. The instructors are patient, encouraging, and so good with young climbers. APEX is the real deal.”

J
James T.

“My son was nervous at first, and the staff went above and beyond to make him feel confident and welcome. By the end he was asking when we could come back. Amazing team!”
