  1. Rock climbing is not just for grown-ups. Your children can also enjoy this fun-filled activity as well as reap its advantages.

  2. Aside from its heart- health benefits, it is also known to boost their self-confidence and esteem.

  3. While it may not be an impromptu activity like running or biking, there are many climbing walls …

  4. … that are now available, especially with the advent of fitness centers and camps.

  5. The great thing about having your kids join these activities is that it follows up on their natural tendency.

  6. As you know, children are natural climbers. You can see them going up on trees or scaling tall ladders.

  7. With rock climbing, you can satisfy their impulses to climb. What's more, it is fairly easy on the kids compared to adults.

  8. With a high strength-to-weight ratio, they have less body weight to pull up, and they are more flexible.

  9. It is also a low-impact workout that tests your children's endurance. It's easy on their joints as they burn energy during their ascent.

  10. What's more, climbing walls are like giant puzzles begging to be solved.

  11. Not only does it tests the physical aspects of your children's development, it also stimulates their mental faculties.

  12. Kids are challenged physically as their pull, lift, stretch, and twist their way up.

  13. This activity also develops their eye-hand coordination as they maneuver their climb.

  14. Not only that, it also involves a playful discovery of oneself and a learning experience that teaches kids the values of patience and determination.

  15. Rock climbing is an activity that everyone in the family can enjoy. It is a holistic family experience where fun and knowledge come together.

  16. The Benefits for Kids and Family

  17. Rock climbing has once been considered the sport of adrenaline junkies.

  18. One may wonder why many of these enthusiasts risk life and limb as they climb mountains or walls.

  19. Perhaps it’s the excitement. Is it the thrill?

  20. Or is there more to that exhilarating feeling that one experiences while being attached to the side of a hill or climbing wall?

  21. Almost anyone can do rock climbing although it may vary in skill level, namely beginner, intermediate, or advanced.

  22. But despite its reputation as an extreme sport, children can do this. One does not need to be super-fit to join a rock climbing class.

  23. However, good technique is a better commodity than strength when doing this sport.

  24. In this activity, your kids can improve their footwork and get a good grasp on body positioning.

  25. Thinking of having your kids join a rock climbing activity? It’s a great physical, mental, and intellectual workout.

  26. Let your kids enjoy the rock climbing experience at Maplewood Summer Day Camp.

  27. Experienced staff will keep your child both safe and busy with arts and crafts, games, water sports, gymnastics and more.
