Scituate High School and Project Adventure - Getting Kids Motivated About Moving

"We are going with more life long skills than team sports type things" is the quote by Greg Rainer, Health and Wellness Chair at Scituate High School in Scituate, MA. As part of a tax override vote, the school has been able to replace a climbing wall that had been installed by novices with a professionally installed Project Adventure Climbing Wall.

In an article by Brian Nanos of the Wicked Local Website, PA Installer and Challenge Course Inspection Coordinator Alex Kramer is pictured providing an orientation to Rainer of the new climbing wall. In September, Physical Educators and other staff will receive training from Project Adventure on the appropriate use of the elements.

Assistant Superintendent, Jim Kelleher refers to the PA climbing wall and training as tools for continued improvement of curriculum in the district.
