Regions - Thompson - Roche Lake
Roche Lake is the premier sport climbing locale for anyone coming to the Kamloops area - only 40 min outside of town with a days worth of top quality climbs from 5.8 to 5.13. West facing, it has good climbing between late May (bring bug spray) and early October. And if you don't mind the bugs this is a great family location.

40 minutes in car + 1 minute on foot
