Tons of Richmond Starlight families showed up at Peak Experiences, indoor rock climbing club for a day of laughter and adventure. For some of us, the rock walls were a new and challenging experience. But it didn’t take long before whole families were double backing their harnesses and scrambling up 30 ft and even 50 ft walls. Laughter and a sense of accomplishment was rampant in the room as climbers reached the top of their walls. Some kids learned to tie eight knots and other particulars of climbing. Richmond families loved the day at Peak Experiences. The enthusiasm ranged from a family who thought rock climbing was more fun than Kingsdominion to a family who decided to join the climbing club. We had a great lunch of subs, chips, fruit, and veggies (everyone needed their vitamins. rock climbing is a workout!). Best of all, climbing was a great way to face fears and new challenges, to work on physical strength, and to get out their and do something adventurous together! We would like to thank Peak Experiences for a great event and the more than twenty volunteers who showed up to help us belay for all of our wonderful families.
