WALL CLIMBING @ TERRA NOVA




UP AND RUNNING! EVERY SECOND TUESDAY NIGHT! (next on March 24th, 09)
6-730 ELEMENTARY AGE and 7:30-9 HIGH SCHOOL

There is nothing like the trust that is built when a youth climbs our
climbing wall.

Basically I am the person on the bottom holding them up. It's called
Belaying. You both have harnesses on and are attached by ropes and special
cables. It is very safe and belayers must be specially trained. To the
person climbing it can be a fear or a huge challenge but it is definitely
difficult either way. They need to trust too.
Trust you will keep them up and safe and it puts them in a very vulnerable
situation. When they make it to the top though it adds confidence in
themselves and in you for helping them to make it there. It is an amazing
teaching tool.

We will be having discussions afterwards for both elementary and high school
ages.
UPDATES SOON!
