Mountain climbing class with parents and children together “The 3rd Mt.Mitosan (1,531 m)” ( November 17, 2018 )

Overview :

Parent-child ties are deepened by sympathizing with something and sharing.
It happens from the feelings of parents watching the children while walking in nature and the warmth that holds out the hands we extended.
From parent to child, and from child to parent, affection that can not be expressed by words alone.
The experiences feeling encouraging each other’s enthusiasm gives great courage and power to the subsequent growth of the child.
Following last year, at the caravan, we will hold “Outside play education” that parents and children will experience together.

child’s childhood goes anywhere you and your child walked hand in hand.
As children grow up, walking together may have diminished.
Of course, it is commonplace, but it is said that time spent in parent and child, time to feel growth, time to notice change is very important because it is a time to grow rapidly.

Learning · experiencing · experiencing in nature “Outside play education” has its own valuable experience and discovery not only for children but also for parents themselves.
Even parents and children who have not had mountaineering or outdoor experience until now, want to take a step forward in nature, want to challenge new things with parents and children.
If you have such a feeling, why do not you try participating in mountain climbing together with your parents and children.
