Mini Monkeys
This fun-filled program will introduce kids ages 3 to 5 to the exciting world of indoor rock climbing! Kids are innate climbers, as all parents know – give your little ones the opportunity to explore climbing in a safety-focused, fun-first environment.
Participants can expect to learn the basics of climbing, including an introduction to the gear we use to climb, tips on how to get up the wall, and lots of climbing-based games to promote a fun learning environment. All games and activities are non competitive.
Parents are required to participate in this one-hour long class with their little ones helping to facilitate activities; but do not need any knowledge of climbing prior to enrolling. Harness and climbing shoes are included in the cost of the course.
Participants are encouraged to bring a snack and a water bottle.
