Adventure & Discovery Camp for Kids

Rock Climbing Adventure & Discovery Camp

Campers experience climbing, team building, games and crafts.

Climbing periods will consist of roped climbing and bouldering. The campers will work on progressing their climbing while having fun and using proper technique.

Older campers will focus on technique and different problems. Younger, less experienced campers will focus more on having fun and being safe while climbing.

Why Summer Camp at Hub Climbing?

Climbing is a fun day camp activity but will also help your child learn a growth mindset:

Self-confidence

When harnessed and secured, a child can be on a low climbing wall and still repeatedly failing but then achieving greater heights. They directly feel the rewards of stepping out of their comfort zone. It requires children to shed their inhibitions and appreciate the value of persistence when facing tough conditions. Rock Climbing fills their minds with self-confidence)

Cognitive Development

Problem-solving, Spatial awareness, planning ascents and tricky challenges before you face them

Social and Emotional Development

Self-esteem building, Self-Determination, making friends, trust between friends and camp counselors

Fundamentals Development

Agility, Balance, Coordination, Mobility, flexibility.

Responsibility and Planning

Campers will also learn the safety aspects of climbing. From starting a climb to finishing the climb. Before starting, campers will have to find a way down in a safe manner.

Fun while Being Active

There will be fun activities during the 3 hours of climbing experience, campers will get climbing games and activities. We may even get a little competitive and do a little competitions at the end of the week to help motivate some of the campers. (These competitions are all friendly competitions. We try to make every camper a winner!)
Each day your child will conquer challenges and build skills and self esteem in the process:

Taylor P

Youth and Program Manager

The first time I ever climbed I knew I was hooked! I was (and still am) a bit frightened of heights and felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment after making it to the top of my first big wall. When I moved back to Ontario, I joined my local climbing gym and never looked back. I learned how to sport climb, challenge my body and mind and have since had opportunities to travel and learn about climbing from so many different mentors. It is my dream to pass along the joy of climbing to others while fostering a fun, effective and safe learning environment. I can confidently say that climbing has changed my life and I wouldn’t be who I am today without the sport and everyone I’ve met along the way.

Our Camp Philosophy

We believe that your child should learn new things, meet new people, and best of all – forge friendships. Camp should be safe and run by trained counselors. Camp should also be fun and give many opportunities for YOUR child’s personal growth.

Varied Experiences

Hub provides a mix of activities so that learning comes naturally. We do more than climbing for our campers. We have arts and crafts, yoga, fitness games, outdoor games and, weather permitting, forest walks.

Social Diversity

We strive to create a social environment that is caring and supportive where campers feel they can take risks, make new friends and try new things. At Hub Climbing, most of our campers are totally new climbers who come from a variety of backgrounds.

Multisensory Skill Building

Climbing is both a cognitive and physical activity. The climbing challenges are designed to require a mix of athletic movement and delicate balance to complete.

Resilience and Overcoming Challenge

Challenges always require conquering oneself. Your child will set personal goals, learn perseverance, explore and reflect on their successes and next steps. Talent is easy. Practice and trying is hard work. We will show youth, and adults too, that hard work can and should be fun. Remember, climbing is not about “heights” but about balance, goal setting, perseverance and of course brains and fitness.

Cognitive Development

Climbers will confront various challenges simultaneously. Participants leave the ground taking on short but tricky climbing challenges using their balance, technique, strength, and problem-solving skills. Their fear factor can be present as well. A climbing challenge can be as low as inches of the ground and still be very challenging to complete.

Trained Camp Counsellors

Many of our coaches and camp program planners are certified teachers and/or teacher candidates and ECEs. More than that, our trained counselors share a love for the sport and the culture of co-operation. Your child will have experienced leadership from educators who love what they do. The counselors and teachers will set the tone for fun and excitement.

Safety

Our camp staff are trained in safety regulations, emergency procedures and communication, behavior management techniques, appropriate staff and camper behavior, and specific procedures for supervision.

Supervision & Behavioural Management

We believe in positive reinforcement, assertive role modeling and a sense of fair play. Camp takes place with a ratio of no more than 5 campers per counselor. Rules are necessary for any organization to maintain the safety and enjoyment of all participants. We use a progressive disciplinary approach where expectations are clearly stated at the beginning of each activity.
