Rock Climbing offers a unique environment for children to explore and become more aware of how their bodies move on the rock wall as they progress through bouldering, harnessing, belaying, and then conquering top rope climbing. They will be inspired to set goals and develop teamwork skills as they learn proper safety & rock-climbing techniques. Participants will be grouped according to their climbing exposure and the program will culminate with a ‘friendly’ finale challenge to put new skills to the test. All equipment is provided. *Registration ends 2 days prior to the start date.

We’re partnering with the Jays Care Foundation in this 8-week program to engage female-identifying girls ages 7-13, which are often those that find themselves sitting on the sidelines. The Jays Care Foundation promotes the theory of change. This is as follows: from baseball, to access, to belonging & connection, to variations. Participants will develop skills in all of these ingredients as they are inspired by sport in a positive peer network that will help build confidence and create a stronger connection to community. This program is ideal for those new to baseball. No specialized equipment required. Comfortable clothing and running shoes are recommended. *Registration ends 1 week prior to the start date.
