What kind of things do you do at ROCKCAMP?

Rock climbing is more than just being able to get to the top of the wall. There are many techniques and skills to learn and develop that help you along the way. At ROCKCAMP your child will learn the fundamental climbing techniques that assist them to approach the climbs with new found confidence.

To help develop these skills and keep things fun and interesting ROCKCAMP incorporates loads of climbing related games and activities. These are a great way to interact with others, have fun and to enhance climber’s abilities.

Why choose rock climbing?

Children love to climb! Trees, buildings, fences and play equipment, you name it, kid’s love to climb it. It’s a fun, exciting and a great way to explore natural curiosities.

ROCKCAMP – weekend/school holiday program embraces this natural desire to climb and harnesses it to teach the fundamentals of rock climbing in a fun, safe and rewarding environment.

What if my child is not very sporty?

Not being good at ball sports or at running does not mean you won’t enjoy or be good at climbing. Be surprised by how many “non sporty” people climb and you will understand why being typically sporty doesn’t matter.
