While it may not be
an impromptu activity
like running or biking,
there are many
climbing walls …

… that are now
available, especially with
the advent of fitness
centers and camps.

The great thing about having
your kids join these activities is
that it follows up on their
natural tendency.
![Page 7: Why Rock Climbing is Great for Kids](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a73aa41a28abe1258b4588/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
As you know, children are
natural climbers. You can see
them going up on trees or
scaling tall ladders.
![Page 8: Why Rock Climbing is Great for Kids](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a73aa41a28abe1258b4588/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
With rock climbing, you can
satisfy their impulses to climb.
What's more, it is fairly easy on
the kids compared to adults.
![Page 9: Why Rock Climbing is Great for Kids](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a73aa41a28abe1258b4588/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
With a high strength-to-weight
ratio, they have less body
weight to pull up, and they are
more flexible.

It is also a low-impact workout that tests your children's
endurance. It's easy on their joints as they burn energy during
their ascent.
![Page 11: Why Rock Climbing is Great for Kids](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a73aa41a28abe1258b4588/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What's more, climbing walls are like giant puzzles
begging to be solved.
![Page 12: Why Rock Climbing is Great for Kids](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a73aa41a28abe1258b4588/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Not only does it tests the physical aspects of your
children's development, it also stimulates their
mental faculties.
![Page 13: Why Rock Climbing is Great for Kids](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a73aa41a28abe1258b4588/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Kids are challenged physically as their
pull, lift, stretch, and twist their way up.
![Page 14: Why Rock Climbing is Great for Kids](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a73aa41a28abe1258b4588/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
This activity also develops their eye-hand
coordination as they maneuver their climb.
![Page 15: Why Rock Climbing is Great for Kids](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a73aa41a28abe1258b4588/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Not only that, it also involves a playful
discovery of oneself and a learning
experience that teaches kids the values
of patience and determination.

Rock climbing is an activity that
everyone in the family can enjoy. It is
a holistic family experience where fun
and knowledge come together.

The Benefits for Kids
and Family
![Page 18: Why Rock Climbing is Great for Kids](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a73aa41a28abe1258b4588/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Rock climbing has once
been considered the sport
of adrenaline junkies.
![Page 19: Why Rock Climbing is Great for Kids](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a73aa41a28abe1258b4588/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
One may wonder why many
of these enthusiasts risk life
and limb as they climb
mountains or walls.
![Page 20: Why Rock Climbing is Great for Kids](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a73aa41a28abe1258b4588/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Perhaps it’s the excitement.
Is it the thrill?
![Page 21: Why Rock Climbing is Great for Kids](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a73aa41a28abe1258b4588/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Or is there more to that
exhilarating feeling that one
experiences while being
attached to the side of a hill
or climbing wall?
![Page 22: Why Rock Climbing is Great for Kids](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a73aa41a28abe1258b4588/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Almost anyone can do rock climbing although it may vary
in skill level, namely beginner, intermediate, or advanced.
![Page 23: Why Rock Climbing is Great for Kids](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a73aa41a28abe1258b4588/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
But despite its reputation as an extreme sport, children
can do this. One does not need to be super-fit to join a
rock climbing class.

However, good technique is a better commodity
than strength when doing this sport.
![Page 25: Why Rock Climbing is Great for Kids](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a73aa41a28abe1258b4588/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
In this activity, your kids can improve their footwork
and get a good grasp on body positioning.
