Splore's Unique RockOn! Program Helps Children with Autism to Achieve Great New Heights!

Rock On! is an eight-week indoor rock climbing program design especially for children within the Autism Spectrum Disorder. This program features one-on-one attention and encouragement, where each child climbs at their own pace, and safety is the primary concern. All equipment and climbing costs are included.

Fox 13 News did a special “Through The Lens” segment on Splore's rock climbing program. This featured interviews with parents, Splore staff and volunteers. Please see the video that shows the positive impact on these special children in our community.
