Children’s activity camp “Little Leopard” from the team of the club “White Irbis” will give a child the opportunity to have fun and unique summer vacations and become a real climber.

We invite all girls and boys who are not strangers to the thirst for adventure and new experiences in our climbing camp. To be stronger, higher, bolder, to learn how to make decisions, to find new company, and more … of course, to learn how to climb on real rocks, walk with friends in a bundle, go to the mountains, and much more!

A very diverse, versatile program for active kids, with fun games and sports improvement . This program is a combination of various active activities with educational and recreational elements. 7 days of sports training and excursions in different parts of Armenia, a wide range of new emotions and new knowledge, rest in nature, all this in one trip.

Camp “Little Bars” strives to move the course of great discoveries in the soul of every child!

That’s why when your child comes home he/she will be proud to declare that he/she knows the difference between a figure of eight and a grappler, what categories there are in mountaineering and rock climbing, and will be able to organize master-classes on knot tying, camping and unmistakable orientation in the mountains.

A real vacation for kids and teens who have a passion for travel at heart!

Climbing is one of the best things you can do, and it’s sure to be well received by your child. You know, kids don’t get a bread and butter, just let them climb somewhere. And what do they hear from their grandmothers, nannies and educators? “Don’t climb, you’ll get hurt, get down quickly…” Stop!!! You can’t do that. You have to give your child the opportunity to realize himself in something he likes so much. Rock climbing - it’s exciting, interesting pastime, a child overcomes obstacles of varying difficulty, mastering the basics of climbing and developing his body. And most importantly, it’s all safe. Small scratches and bruises do not count:)

Rock climbing for adults and children as a sport and recreation is very popular in European countries. In some of them rock-climbing is even included in the program of general physical development of secondary schools and is actively promoted among younger and middle-aged children.

So why rock climbing? Unlike many other sports, rock climbing is very creative and natural, children’s will is not impaired. Children often choose their own route and learn to make their own decisions. This is one of the rare sports, which simultaneously develops such qualities as coordination, agility, logical and spatial thinking, improves the reaction, there is determination and purpose. In addition, it strengthens the muscle corset of the shoulder girdle, back and abdomen. The problem of posture can be forgotten.

In principle, some parents begin to teach their children rock climbing from the age of three. As a rule, these are dads and moms who are into rock climbing themselves. Provided that they teach their child by parents, it would be better to start climbing from the age of 5 or 6. It is at this age when children are actively forming their movements. But, unfortunately, at this age children are not yet well aware of what discipline is and are not always able to hold their attention long enough when doing exercises.

In general, having compared all the conditions and facts, children’s coaches agreed on the optimal age of 7-8 years.

How to contact with a child?

Telephone contact with your child is one of the problems. Therefore we do not allow children to be in contact during the day. Separate evening hours will be provided for this purpose, during which they can share their experiences of the day with you.

Reasons:

The child is just beginning to adjust to a new environment and parents remind them of home;

the child is distracted from collective activities when they need to concentrate on them;

the phone rings during mass activities or when the child is busy climbing or guarding a partner;

the phone rings when the child is resting (naptime, time after bedtime, early morning) - this can disturb not only the child, but also his/her companions.

We recommend that you set certain hours to contact your child or get information about your child from our phones.

If something urgent happens, you can contact us at the organizers' phone numbers. These phone numbers are for emergency contact and are on 16 hours a day from 8:00 to 24:00.

If your child is not calling you, it could mean the following - he or she is fine or just doesn’t have time. He may just have a dead phone or run out of money on his account. Don’t worry, and don’t panic! We care about your children!

IMPORTANT! Parents - legal representatives - must! escort and meet the children (ie, bring and pick up at the meeting point) If the child is not taken from the camp by legal parents (ie, grandparents, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, etc.), then they must have: a power of attorney, certified by a notary or workplace, to take the child, a copy of a passport from one of the parents.

Please note: Check-in time - 12:00 noon Check-out time from the camp - 12:00 noon

If a child violates the rules of order and behavior in the camp (asocial behavior), the organizers reserve the right to hold children accountable, up to immediate expulsion from the camp.

Dear parents!

We earnestly ask you to warn your children about the following:

The child is fully personally responsible for the safety of their personal belongings. Therefore, children must be aware of their belongings and keep them in the designated places.

Children shall clean their own beds, personal belongings, garbage resulting from the actions of the child on their own. For this purpose there are garbage accumulators (bags, garbage cans, etc.) in the places of activity of the camp.

If a child has a high fever, the child can be placed under the supervision of a doctor, where he or she will receive the necessary medications. In this case, the medical staff will make the parents aware of the child’s condition. With this option, parents, depending on how the child is feeling, decide on his stay in the camp.

Well, now on your way to the unforgettable experience at the Childhood Planet high in the mountains!
