It's a prehistoric takeover at PBJ this May!

Are your kids ready to climb with T Rex?
​Sign up for a Taster or Drop In Class!
Schedule

CLIMB
Climbers will focus on belaying.  From the very basics of "what is a belayer" to taking the belay test.  Everyone will learn age/level appropriate skills.  The majority of the class will be spent on top-rope climbs.  
We will incorporate knot tying into our bouldering games.
Some of the skills we will work on in order of difficulty are:
  • Body position for lowering
  • Belay commands
  • Introduction to our gear: harness, belay device, and carabiner
  • How to tie a figure 8 knot & follow through​
  • Partner safety check
  • Mock belaying
  • Preparing for belay test​​

March 2019: Core Strength, Core Values, Butterfly

We're hanging out with our furry friends today.  We'll find homes for cute puppies, stretch out like cats, and track our progress with dog bones.  The 4 legged swimmer above is from Seth Casteel's book "Underwater Dogs-Kids Edition".  Pure awesomeness.  His "Underwater Babies" photos encourage families to get kids into swim lessons early.  I like it!

May 2018: Dynamic & Static Movement, Sprints & Sculling.

I've always liked monkeys, but now I know that sloths are fantastic!  My procrastination hours were easily filled with baby sloths.  I also learned that they swim with a sculling motion that is much faster than movement on land.  Good to know!
