ABC for Kids

ABC Tube Traverse

A structured one-hour weekly class in our special ABC room. We teach Agility, Balance & Coordination for kids age 3 through 6 (Ann Arbor only).

ABC for KIDS is a unique program focused on developing agility, balance, and coordination. Our specially designed elements encourage physical and mental growth through movement and exploration. We offer an extraordinary staff of climbers, mothers, specialists in yoga and gymnastics instructors – all with a passion for teaching children.

  • Structured classes incorporate climbing skills and safety with yoga, gymnastics and educational games.
  • Kids learn to navigate a hanging obstacle course that changes from week to week.
  • Our unique room challenges kids with irresistible activities that encourage independence and build confidence.

We believe that learning is a process of exploration and observation and that children will discover ideas on their own if given the right tools. Confidence and self-esteem grow from this process of observation and discovery.

ABC I class introduces all kids ages 3 – 6 to the ABC program. ABC II class is for kids ages 4 1/2 – 6 and expands upon the skills learned in ABC I.

ABC Sessions consist of 15 classes every 4 months.
Sessions run the following months:
Winter Session: October through January
Spring Session: February through May

Planet Rock’s ABC for KIDS program is modeled after the ABC for KIDS program in Boulder, CO developed by Robyn Erbesfield, a world renowned climber. Robyn won the US Championship 5 times and also won 4 World Cup Titles. Although she has coached climbers since 1993, Robyn officially retired from competition in 1996 to become a mother and eventually the head coach for the USA Climbing Team. Robyn has worked with children for over 15 years as a personal trainer specializing in working with junior elite athletes.
