Description

Join us for a very special ReWild Your Child Climbing Clinic at Garden of The Gods sponsored by RSM as part of the Always Choose Adventures ReWild Your Child Program. Our ACA ReWild Your Child Ambassador, Megan Mason is our volunteer for the day. Our partners, Front Range Climbing Company and their certified climbing instructors know the best routes around the mountains of the west and the southwest. This clinic will teach children the basics rock climbing skills, including equipment, knots, belaying, descending, and climbing movement. Front Range Climbing Company will provide all of the technical climbing gear you need for your trip such as a harness, helmet, and shoes. Other technical gear required for the trip will also be provided by Front Range Climbing Company. If you have your own harness, helmet, and/or shoes, and would like to use them, please let your guide know prior to the trip. Your guide inspects your gear at the start of the trip to determine if they would rather you use company provided equipment for the trip.

A backpack versus a handbag lets you freely use your hands while moving around the climbing areas.Sneakers/Approach Shoes/Chaco Sandals ™: Most of the climbing areas require a slight hike from the parking area to reach your climbs.
