Material:
1 11mm-12mm rope (from the top of the wall to the ground)
2 2mm-3mm piece about 3-4 feet
All the proper climbing equipment

If your climbing wall has a repel side that is best as there are no climbing holds to get cut on. Take the smaller ropes and tie a double fisherman’s knot in the ropes creating 2 endless loops. Make one prusik knot on the climbing rope just above the climbers head. Put the second prusik at about the waist height of the climber. Then step with one foot into the lower knot and lift your self off the ground making it possible to clip into the knot that is at head height with a carabiner. Then put all your weight on the knot that you are connected to making it possible to move the foot knot up a bit. Then step in the foot knot and stand up and move the upper knot up as hight as it will go, sit down and move the other knot up. This will create an ascending motion, were you are slowly climbing the rope with these knots. When you get to the top do it all in reverse and head down. As this is a friction knot be very careful that before you put any weight on the knot that you pull it tight on the rope first to start the friction, if you do not the knot could slip and then you could slide down the rope and get one good rope burn. Also make sure that there is a top rope connected to the campers and someone is belaying them in case they fall or slip. Set up two ropes and have races with the campers. It is best to use static rope as it does not stretch as much and more energy goes into getting up the rope then stretching the rope.
