Rock Climbing is a great way to experience the outdoors, give yourself a full body workout, and just have fun. Also, it’s not just for grownups! The Austin Rock Climbing Gym has two convenient locations in North and South Austin, and we wanted to tell you about their opportunities for kids! From child-only climbing sessions to classes to birthday parties, ARG has many ways for you to introduce you kids to an awesome activity:
Climbing sessions for kids only (before the gym opens to the public):
Monkey Business is Austin Rock Climbing Gym’s youth program (ages 4-7,) that runs Saturdays from 9AM-10AM, and you sign up for 4 Saturdays a month. Here’s the info:
