Why Climbing

The metaphors in climbing match well with the life of a child. There are thousands of different paths, a myriad of choices (both healthy and not) and many opportunities for learning along the way. Climb Youth utilizes rock climbing and high-adventure activities as a vehicle for helping children plan a positive path through life. A structured sequence of activities is led by a professional, trained staff to give each child the expereince of setting appropriate goals, making action plans, engaging in healthy communication and team-work and learning to solve problems and overcome obstacles.

Climbing focuses on both the journey and the destination, the choices made along the route determin how much fun will be had on the ascent. The Climb Youth Project is designed to assist children in makin healthy choices so they can enjoy a full and fun life.
