2012 March Break 1/2 Day Kids Camp
Kidrock Climbing Camps offer young climbers the opportunity to cultivate their interest of climbing into a lifetime of adventure. Our courses cover the proper use of climbing safety equipment, belaying and knot tying. We will instruct your child on the movement and climbing techniques that will have them climbing the walls with ease. To monitor your child’s progress in the camp, we have them record their achievements in a daily climbing journal. Journal entries will aid in the setting and realization of goals. Lessons are incremental and are designed to challenge children at any skill level. Completion of the Kidrock Climbing Camp gives your child a firm grounding in the core principles of indoor rock climbing.
