You know those days during the holidays when the kids are getting bored, and they’re starting to climb the walls?
Or maybe even starting to drive you up the wall? Well, your peace-of-mind solution is to take them to where they can do exactly that: take them to The Rock Adventure Centre where they can try indoor rock climbing in a safe and controlled environment.
Open from noon to 6pm every day and to 9.30pm on Tuesday and Thursday over the holidays.
When you take your children rock climbing, don’t be afraid to give it a try yourself. It’s a great way to improve your fitness. You use your whole body: fingers, hands, forearms, shoulders, back, abdomen, and legs. Indoor rock climbing is an excellent low-impact fitness regimen and it’s great fun and very addictive.
Even if you don’t want to climb yourself, just being involved with your kids by holding their safety ropes while they climb and sharing in their success makes rock-climbing a great family activity.
There are also fully supervised Kids Rock sessions. Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon from 2pm to 4pm drop your kids off and they will be taken climbing.
The trained and experienced instructors will take your kids through climbing games and challenges in both the bouldering roped areas.
Let The Rock do all the ‘belaying’ for the Kids, as well as encouraging them to explore their limits. You can sit down and enjoy an excellent coffee while you watch your kids or head off for a shop on Pakington Street. Bookings required.
If your child is looking for a start to an adventure that could last a lifetime, get in and check out the term sessions. Climb-it Club for primary aged kids and Team Rock for teenagers.
Fitness, strength, fun and new friends to meet, climbing has it all and with climbing now in the Olympics, this may be the start of some Olympic dreams.
Each term is rounded off with a day trip to nearby You Yangs or Staughtonvale where climbers can enjoy a day of outdoor climbing or abseling.
