Why rock climbing?
Gain Confidence
Rock climbing is a great way for kids to gain confidence with their physical and mental abilities. Most students finish our program and complete routes they did not think were possible at the beginning of the semester.
Get Stronger
Rock climbing is a great exercise and a full body workout. Students learn balance and technique, while building strength in their upper and lower body and core.
Problem Solve
Rock climbing routes use applied math. Students mentally solve the problem of completing the route, then use their bodies to test each solution formulated in their mind.
Screen Time Alternative
Did you know that most kids spend between 20 and 40 hours a week in front of screens, whether it be a phone, tablet or video game? This has become the worst addiction in our society since cigarettes. Kids need more physical, real life socialization and fewer digital interactions.
