Description
The North Country Climbing Center (N3C) is thrilled to host a six-lesson homeschool rock climbing program this fall!
About the Program: Over the course of the program, students in grades K-12 will learn the ropes in our state-of-the-art indoor climbing facility. Each lesson includes climbing and instruction as well as team-building activities. This homeschool program will be run as a drop-off program where instructors will provide instruction and supervision during the session.
N3C’s skilled instructors guide students through basic climbing skills, including:
- The basics of climbing balance and motion
- How to tie necessary climbing knots
- Belaying and lowering climbers on top rope (for climbers age 8+)
About N3C: The North Country Climbing Center (N3C) is the only indoor full-service rock climbing gym and guiding business serving Northern New Hampshire and the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. We have 6,000 square feet of exciting and varied terrain for all ability levels and ages on walls up to four stories tall, including extensive bouldering, top-roping, auto belays, and lead climbing.
