When looking for a summer camp I strive to find an experience that offers my kids a chance to learn a new skill as well as an activity that will get their hearts pumping and their bodies sweating. Our youngest has an insatiable need to move. He lives on our trampoline – wind, rain, snow – he’s outside jumping, flipping, and flopping. Rock climbing has been on our activity to-do list for a while and this summer we are going to make that happen!<\/del><\/p>\n

Hive Climbing Summer Camps<\/a> instil more in kids than just the ability to climb. Undoubtably the campers core strength improves, as does their coordination, arm and muscle strength. But climbing also breeds an increased level of confidence and resilience. The rock wall doesn’t care if you make it off the ground or not. It is up to the participant, with the help of their well-trained instructors, to problem solve, and try new strategies. I’m completely on board for a summer camp that teaches my kids that hard work, and repeated effort, is the road to success.<\/del><\/p>\n

The Hive Climbing Summer Camps expose kids (juniors aged 6-8 years; inters aged 9-12 years) to the world of climbing. The week-long camps explore climbing through fun lessons, games, and activities. Not only will the campers improve in climbing but the camps will also encourage personal and social development.<\/del><\/p>\n

The summer camp content is built upon experiential and play-based learning principles for healthy, well-rounded youth. About two-thirds of the time will be spent climbing and learning; one-third at off-site locations such as local parks. The Hive has COVID-19 prevention strategies in place and have altered, eliminated, or added games and activities to reflect this. There will still be plenty of climbing and fun to be had, with added emphasis on hygiene and etiquette around shared space and physical distancing.<\/del><\/p>\n
