Rock Climbing Camp Rocks!!
By: Alice Hodges
Last summer, I went to music camp, tennis camp, Roblox camp, and Minecraft camp. But of all the camps that I went to, rock climbing camp was the best.
One reason I loved rock climbing camp at Movement Design District was because of the endless fun activities to enjoy. I could climb the high courses on the first floor and boulder on the second floor. And, if I got bored with that, the camp counselors had an abundance of fun games to play, on and off the rocks.
Added to all the activities was the experience of the rock-climbing itself. Rock climbing is amazing! And when I got tired, I could cheer on my friends or enjoy a game of Uno on the sidelines.
The counselors at Movement made sure to help every kid have a great time. The courses at Movement are rated by color, and I thought that the yellow courses were challenging. One of the counselors told me that she had done a yellow course, and that she thought I could do it, too. I tried a lot and couldn’t get up. Every day that she could, the camp counselor spent time giving me suggestions on where to put my feet and hands. On the last day of camp, I finally got up the yellow course. I was happy, and she told me I had done a great job.
The counselors helped first time climbers by figuring out the right courses and levels for them. They cheered on the beginner climbers a lot. I thought the counselors always did their best to help kids get the full experience of rock climbing camp, and that they were one of the biggest parts of why the camp was an unforgettable experience.
The atmosphere of the gym itself was my favorite part of the camp. Everywhere I looked, there were people helping each other out or cheering other people on. When I visit Movement, I can’t help but smile walking through the doors.
Once I’d gone to camp at Movement I wanted to come back again and again. I went to three weeks of rock climbing camp last summer from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. I think this camp is a must-go for all energetic, fun-loving kids everywhere.
