Indoor Climbing - Perry Point, MD (Veterans With Perry Point VA Only)

This program is open to Veterans only, in affiliation with the Perry Point VA of Maryland.

All participants are welcome regardless of age, gender, or ability. We will focus on every participant as an individual and encourage each climber to push their unique and personal comfort zones. No experience or equipment needed!

We will cover the basics of rope work, belay commands, climber movement, and gym etiquette so that a first time climber or seasoned athlete, can become confident in the vertical environment. The benefits of climbing have been proven to help a wide range of disabilities such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), limb loss/limb difference, and traumatic brain injury (TBI).

We welcome any and all disabilities and look forward to giving back to our community. Benefits of rock climbing include physical and mental aspects such as practice of fine motor skills, coordination of movements, balance, and core control as well as problem solving and mental focus.
