Climbing Camps Start June 14th!

Joe — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 14:51:19 +0000

First Avenue Rocks summer camps are two hours long and run Monday through Friday every other week. Climbing camps will familiarize kids with the tenants of rock climbing including technique, body movement, equipment use & care, termonology, and goal setting. We cap our classes at ten climbers in order to better focus on the kids as individuals. Even if your child has never climbed before we can have them climbing in minutes and teach them skills that they can use in all aspects of life.

Get more info here, or call to book your child’s climbing camp today.
