EXP. Climbing

As babies we tried climbing out of our crib, as toddlers we climbed trees, and as Explorers we climb the Calleva Rock Wall. The climbs offer up a variety of routes from pitch angle, hold sizes, and route difficulty with multiple belay ropes/routes. Up to 4 campers can climb on the wall at a time and each climber is belayed by our staff who coach and instruct campers up the wall. This is sure to get the Explorers pushing themselves, giving them a sense of accomplishment. Each time up at the climb gives our staff a chance to encourage and praise our campers as they scale the skill awards as well as the wall. Last year as campers waited, they participted in team challenges - what will happen this year.... soccer, stick hockey, bring back dance party!?!? 

All Explorers do all activities, unless for health reasons. Every year we work on new ways to expand the experience and increase comprehension and enjoyment. Campers are given a chance to continue to push themselves and new challenges are created daily. Staff are aware of the challenges and difficulties for young children to face in front of their peers and special consideration is taken to create a positive environment for children to struggle and succeed.

Daily NeedsList:

Safety is our #1 priority and belayers are certified and trained. All campers are in age/weight appropriate harnesses and helmet and are tied into the rope before they climb. Climbing wall is raised and lowered everyday. Ropes are certified, inspected and kept out of the elements.
