We are excited to offer this fantastic program, featuring two popular elements that kids love — minerals and climbing! We partner with Mad Science and Rocksport to bring this awesome opportunity to your child.  Children will learn about minerals, enjoy a snack which is provided, and have a blast as they rock climb.

Program Specifics:
  • MINERAL MANIA:
  • The earth can be pretty crusty. Peek beneath its rough exterior and uncover what it’s made of. Explore the process of rock formation and learn how scientists classify and identify rocks and minerals. Children will enjoy breaking open geodes to find and keep amazing crystals!
  • ROCK CLIMBING:
  • Children will learn basic skills, techniques, and climbing strategy. Rocksport instructors will be monitoring the children as they have so much fun climbing at the spectacular, state-of-the-art Rocksport facility!

Additional Program Information
  • All material, supplies, and a snack are included.
  • Note to parents: For your child’s safety, please inform the Department Staff, at the time of registration, and the instructor of any known allergies that exist for your child!
  • It will be a great afternoon for the kids! Let’s ROCK this perfect combo!
  • Please Note: the completion of a Rocksport waiver is required.

Additional Forms and Files:
* Adjustments and discounts will be applied during checkout if applicable. *
