Youth Programs Outside

Description

Sign up for Youth Programs Outside this summer!

Throughout the summer, students in grades 3-12 will climb outside at various locations around the White Mountains of NH. Each day will include climbing, instruction, and continuing to develop skills learned in other N3C youth programs. This program will be run as a drop-off program at N3C or Echo Crag (depending on the climbing location), where instructors will provide instruction and supervision during the program.

Student Expectations: Students should be able to exhibit patience while instructors put up ropes and climbers take turns climbing and belaying. Please see the list below for other expectations of students throughout the day. If your child is unable to meet these expectations without parental supervision, please consider scheduling a privately guided day.

• Can hike at a moderate pace in varied terrain with a backpack
• Able to be appropriately prepared for the day and self-manage their personal needs
  • Includes listening to their body to take care of eating, drinking, and bathroom breaks
• Able to self-regulate behavior during downtime (non-climbing time)

Any children not appropriately prepared for the day upon arrival at the program (i.e., not wearing hiking footwear) will not be able to participate and will be asked to leave. 

Schedule: The program runs from 3 – 6 pm on select Mondays throughout the summer. Climbers will meet at the selected climbing location, which will be determined on the Thursday prior to the scheduled date. Program dates: 6/16, 6/30, 7/14, 7/28, & 8/18. 

Slots are available on a first come first serve basis, there are only 12 spots available.

Communication: N3C will send an email on the Thursday before the scheduled trip with details regarding the climbing location and predicted weather conditions.

Cost: $225 for all five days, which includes an indoor gym membership with gear for June, July, and August. Drop-ins are available for this program; $65 for a single day, which does not include a gym membership.
