HEALTY KIDS
At Maine Rock Gym we encourage the kids aged 4 and up to participate in a healthy, fun, physical activity. Climbing gives a great sense of achievement. Confidence will increase as the climbing ability increases. Gym climbing is also a social activity, come with friends or make new friends. Encourage one another to achieve new goals, climb routes you only dreamed of climbing a few short weeks earlier. All this can be achieved in our gym under the careful supervision of experienced, committed like minded staff, who are always on hand to give advice and encouragement.

We have designed the following programs specifically for kids!

2010 - 2011 After School Program:

Maine Rock Gym wants to share our passion of climbing with all ages and abilities, so we have created a series of progressive after school programs that cater to the needs of specific age groups to maximize the climber's experience. Our instructors are experienced with teaching and coaching all ages of kids and believe in the benefits of climbing. The confidence and character that the sport of climbing builds is unparallel with any other sport. We build confidence, trust, focus, and physical fitness while always making sure to have tons of Fun. The After-School Programs are 10 weeks long, one 1.5 hour session per week and are from 3:30pm-5:00pm. We offer low instructor to student ratios to allow for more individualized attention. In addition, parents of kids in the program receive a free Basic Safety/Belay class.

Ages 6-10: Tuesdayand Wednesday Description: In this class we start teaching climbing fundamentals to build a solid base of understanding. We start to focus on Teamwork through the use of climbing games and systems. Focus is a big part of climbing and we work with students to guide them through a series of climbing difficulties so they have an awareness about their capabilities The development and improvement at this age will be great. Their level of confidence will soar. If the students are not hooked on climbing, they will be after this course. Climbing games get more advanced as we progress and so does the level of instruction. We focus on personal development at this age and not competition
