Active Indoor Climbing Summer Camps

adrian — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 21:24:21 +0000

Climbing Summer Camp is getting close, don’t forget to sign up!

Welcome to the new adventure that will get your children super excited! Campers will learn and experience the beauty and safety of rock climbing in an air conditioned facility. We’ll cover the basics, do crafts and play games. On Fridays, we’ll have a show and the parents are invited!

Our Summer Camps will be split up by ages. Our facility is divided in two separate rooms, one for younger children and one for older children. They will interact at some point in the day, but most of the time will be spent with their own age group.

Each session is a 5 day program. Children will learn many things related to rock climbing and nature. They will also learn how to plan and approach an outdoor trip, how to pack and how to set a tent. In addition, there will be games and crafts if time permits, but mainly they will discover the safety and the beauty of rock climbing. Children must bring their own lunch.

And finally, the children will present a show on Friday and parents are invited. Your kids will be stars!
We have run these camps in Atlanta for the past few years and we have quite an experience with it.
