Rock
& River Camp
Ultimate
Watersports has collaborated with Earth
Treks to bring you a fresh new idea that is a
guaranteed winner. This five-day camp is for kids age
10 to 14, and it will expose your child to two of
the greatest adventure sports around: Rock Climbing
and River Kayaking . Just think of the stories they'll
have to tell when they return to school!
There are 24 spaces available for each week of this series,
divided into two groups of 12. On Monday, the kids will all
start out at Earth Treks Timonium, the largest
indoor rock climbing gym on the East Coast. One group will
spend the first two days at the indoor gym where they will
learn the basic safety skills needed for climbing and then
get the opportunity to climb their hearts out! They will learn
about bouldering and roped climbing, as well as teamwork and
building self-esteem. The second group will have the unique
opportunity to discover the exciting world of Adventure Kayaking.
Under the guidance of the Certified Kayak Instructors from
Ultimate Watersports, campers will explore
the Gunpowder River, while learning the basic skills of recreational
paddling. Topics covered include
kayaking, tides, currents, weather, water safety and self-rescue.
For Wednesday and Thursday, the two groups of kids will trade
places, with the rock climbing group going outdoors to paddle
and the paddling group coming indoors to climb.
The final day, Friday, will be spent in the Earth Treks Timonium
gym. The campers will meet up for some friendly Olympic-style
events involving everything the campers learned in the first
four days.
Each day of camp will begin and end at Earth Treks Timonium.
We will begin at 9:00am and end at 3:00pm.
Strong swimming
skills are mandatory.
