The summer holidays may be over, but the fun never stops at Clip ’n Climb! If your little one misses scaling to new heights with us, has energy to burn from the school day or you’re even thinking of introducing them to a new hobby – we’re here to help with open arms and a harness at the ready.

We think it’s important that kids have the time and space to decompress after a busy day of learning, growing and generally being awesome little people. In this blog, we will explore the benefits of after-school climbing and how Clip ’n Climb is the place to go when the school bell rings.

Help your kids de-stress after school

Exercise reduces levels of the body’s stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol. It also stimulates the production of endorphins, chemicals in the brain that are the body’s natural painkillers and mood elevators! After a long day of learning and growing, exercise is a great antidote for taking the stresses of the day away.

Discover passions outside of the classroom

Beyond the bell, kids may be more willing to try new things, discover new passions and take positive risks. This, in turn, can lead to higher self-esteem and self-awareness. Psychologists often promote the importance of learning as much as possible about yourself to find your passions in life. 

Improve social skills

After-school activities offer the ideal condition for social learning and feeling a sense of connection with other people, whilst also presenting opportunities to forge strong relationships among peers from the same or even different age groups.

Develop motor skills and build confidence 

For younger children, physical activity helps with the development of motor skills, which is responsible for helping them master the basic movements they need for everyday life. The development of a child’s motor skills means that basic feats can be attained much faster.

Get kids active after school

Our mascot, Pip the Possum, believes that maintaining a physically active lifestyle across a lifespan is a key component of optimal health and well-being. Physical activities promote healthy growth and development and help build a healthier body composition, stronger bones and muscles (all the better for climbing!)

At Clip ’n Climb, we believe the sky’s the limit and we prioritise creating a safe, fun and happy space for all of our climbers. So what are you waiting for? Book your after school climbing session today!
