What Kids Will Do At The Winter Camp
Each day is structured to keep kids engaged and progressing at their own pace. A typical day includes:
1. Warm Up and Games
Campers start with an active warm up. This is important for injury prevention and prepares us for the challenges ahead. We also use simple games to get the kids comfortable and help learn names and shake any jitters away
2. Beginner Friendly Indoor Rock Climbing
Our staff introduces kids to the rock walls and goes over some quick safety info. Then we learn:
How routes and climbing work
Using hands and feet efficiently
How to down climb from routes
How to approach limits and what to do when something feels hard

Learning more intricate parts of climbing (Includes things like ropes, safety, and what real outdoor climbing is like)

We mix in off the wall games with games on the wall and take rest breaks, so kids can reset, hydrate and socialize. This keeps the camps fun and accessible for both the cautious kids and the high energy climbers.
