In our Pebbles 3 class, climbers that have shown a particular aptitude and an attitude of commitment for this sport advance into a more performance oriented curriculum. This class is great for kids that have outgrown the level 2 class, but aren't quite ready for the rigors of the twice a week class. We utilize climbing drills, skill acquisition games, and physical workouts to help students advance their skills and get the most out of their abilities.
Level 4
Ages 9-12
Tuesdays and Thursdays 4:30-6p
Ages 13-16
Tuesdays and Thursdays 6:30-8p
Pebbles 4 is our advanced climbing class. Students who have been climbing for some time have the opportunity to gain specific instructor guidance and feedback, in order to increase climbing accomplishments and development. Practices occur twice a week, and include various skills such as weight room training, hang boarding and projecting, along with occasional special events, to inspire a life long love and commitment to climbing.
Day Camps (ages 6-14)
We believe that camp is foundational to fostering a positive relationship with exercise and social settings. At HMB, young climbers learn body awareness, teamwork, and confidence on and off the climbing wall. Utilizing a large library of games and challenges, and the inclusive setting at Half Moon, our team will help campers grow as climbers and have an absolute blast while doing it.
All camps will be single day camps, but we encourage you to sign up your kids for multiple days!
