On November 16, 2 groups of us went to the Recreation Center at Kent State University to climb rocks!
It was a wonderful experience for the students, from beginners to more experienced climbers. A few of our parents also joined in the race to the top of the wall. Of course, there was no race, but each climber came away with a satisfied feeling of accomplishment.
The staff members were extremely accommodating and helpful with the kids. They were patient with new climbers and very encouraging. Our children were truly reaching new heights in this experience. It was a great way to learn a new sport and step out of our normal comfort zone.
Even planning this trip was a good experience. Communication with the staff was a breeze and they were willing to accommodate whatever our group needed. During the climbing session, they opened a gym across the hall and set out some balls for our little ones to play with. The personal attention was greatly appreciated.
Normal climbing times are available, but renting out the wall is a worthwhile endeavor for anyone who would like to take a group. I plan to return in the spring sometime, since we had such a good response.
