Morning Recess: Wake up! Climb Up!
What goes better with mornings and coffee than rockwalls?! COME join us for a fun morning workout and try your skills on our 24 foot portable rockwall... STAY to learn how the climbing experience is used to engage, energize and enable individuals, groups and teams to perform. You’ll walk away from this Recess refreshed and with adrenaline pumping for the day after having tackled the rockwall, but you’ll also have gained 3 simple backpocket teambuilders and energizers to ensure that your students and staff are ready to take on challenges together. Wake Up! Climb Up!
