About:
Our Grades 4-6 Climbing Program is an exciting pilot initiative that introduces young adventurers to the fundamentals of rock climbing in a fun and supportive environment. Guided by the climbing experts at Bolder Elevated, participants will learn essential skills such as proper climbing techniques, reading routes, and collaborating with peers to solve challenges. Our Amicus staff will be on hand to provide additional support, ensuring every child feels confident and included.
