Guided by expert setter Simon Parton, this setting clinic will aim to develop new competition setters through mentorship. Hired experienced setters will each be paired with mentee setters. 8-12 competition boulders for the ACA youth training camp will be set over 2 days, with ample time for mentors to break down the process of setting boulders for a competition. After the event, setters are invited to observe the ACA youth nationals training camp and provide insight to athletes on the boulders.
