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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10. 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

17. The Benefits for Kids
and Family

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

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

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

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

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

23. 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.

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

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

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

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

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