Program Description

If your child enjoys playing on monkey bars and play structures at school or in the neighborhood park, they will love our Outdoor Adventures: Rock Climbing program. This 4-week introductory program offers four two-hour classes where kids can explore climbing on real rocks and bolders in the beautiful surroundings of Mount Tam, Tennesse Valley and Ring Mountain.

We offer these adventures to children who love to be outdoors exploring their environment while challenging their physical abilities. This program is appropriate for all abilites and ages 8-12. We introduce kids to basic climbing skills, teach climbing safety and explore some of the most beautiful rock climbing areas in Mill Valley.

The program introduces basic rock climbing safety for boulder climbing in the first session. In our next meeting we explore how to choose the best route up bigger boulders and of course we use safety equipment and ropes as we guide children to explore their outer limits in physical strength, determination, perserverence and problem solving. The final 2 sessions challenge kids to climb using strength endurance on intermediate rock faces with the climbing techniques we have been teaching.

Fees: $235/ session
