Rock climbing for kids is, believe it or not, one of the safest sports around especially when compared to the more traditional sports like rugby and hockey. Not only does it increase strength, endurance and flexibility, it is an excellent sport for teaching risk taking, feet and eye co-ordination and a safe way to push kids out of their comfort zone. As they progress, they will also need to learn the skills of planning ahead, problem solving and making decisions based on risks and their individual abilities. It’s a great form of physical education to help boost a child’s self esteem and build confidence, and helps eliminate the fear of heights, although always be sure to use age appropriate height climbing walls, unless you have a really brave 6 year old!
Some schools in Chiang Mai have their own dedicated rock climbing walls which are featured as part of their physical education programme, which then leads into residential trips where the kids can try actual rock climbing in different safe settings. There are also some great kids camps that host overnight trips where rock climbing is one of the outside activities on offer.
