**Students must register NO LATER than October 20th to guarantee participation.**

Please bring completed Field Trip Permission Slip on the day of the event.

This field trip includes:
  • 2 hours of instructor supervised climbing; in both bouldering and top rope areas.
  • Harness rentals for all participants
  • Access to our Adventure Playground for all Climbers
Waivers and Check-In: As of 1/1/2019 all waivers have expired, unless a new form for 2019 has been completed a waiver filled out by parent/court appointed guardian will be required.
  • A completed waiver form is required for each guest, participant and observer; this can be filled out pre-event at our website (here) or in gym at our waiver station. All waivers for minors must be filled out by their parent or court appointed legal guardian. If guardian will be signing, please bring proof of guardianship.
  • Non climbing observers are welcome, but everyone in the facility must have a waiver.
Helpful info for participants:
  • Wear comfy clothes and closed toed shoes (pro tip: van's/converse style tennis shoes work the best!) Rental shoes are available for $6, if needed.
  • Helmets are recommended but not required - if a guardian wants their child to wear a helmet they must bring one, we do not offer rental helmets. Bike or ski helmets work great!
  • Parents/guardians and family are welcome to observe and take pictures!
  • Unfortunately due to our insurance, any children under 5 must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. 
  • If non participating children would like to use the play area it is a fee of $6, requires close parental supervision.
