Rock climbing helps students step outside their comfort zones

The event was hosted by Socorro BLM’s Park Ranger Mike Comiskey at The Box Special Recreation Management area.

On a sunny November day, students and teachers volunteered their time for the rock climbing course in the rugged Box Canyon Recreation Area. What began as a nerve-racking, highly anticipated activity, quickly turned into a fun team building experience where students stepped out of their comfort zones and encouraged one another.

Outdoor education opportunities such as these are typically unavailable to students in rural parts of New Mexico. The hope is that the Socorro Field Office can continue to partner with local schools and universities to provide these unique team building experiences for students. When they go back home, they can take this knowledge with them.
