CLIMBING WITH CHILDREN

 

Looking to drop in with the children?

Take a look below to see what you need to know.

 

Children 6 and older are welcome to climb as long as they are supervised directly by an adult (18+).

If you are bringing children under 14, we recommend going to our Bayers Lake or Dartmouth locations as we are able to provide greater variety in climbs and terrain. We do not host birthday parties or accept group bookings for children under 14.

 

Supervision ratios are as follows:

 

6-10 years old

  • A supervision ratio of 1 adult for every 2 children
  • Supervisors may climb if the ratio is 1 adult to 1 child taking turns
  • Supervisors cannot climb if the ratio is 1 adult to 2 children
  • While your child is on the wall, you should be watching attentively from the side of the mats and they should always be within your line of sight
  • Staff members should be able to determine at all times who the responsible adult is
  • Not allowed in workout area

11-13 years old

  • A supervision ratio of 1 adult for every 2 children
  • Supervisors may climb, but should always be in the vicinity of the children they are supervising
  • Children should always be within your line of sight
  • Staff members should be able to determine at all times who the responsible adult is
  • Not allowed in workout area

14-17 years old

  • Climbers at this age may explore the facility without supervision
  • They will however need a waiver signed by their legal guardian before they can get on the wall. This applies to any climber under the age of 18

Please note that our facility caters to a wide range of climbers of varying ages and experience levels. While we all love to have fun, climbers must be ready to share our space in a safe and respectable way.

  • All climbers and supervisors must receive a safety orientation during their first visit.
  • Supervisors must actively watch their climber. This means staying together and staying off your phone. We are counting on you to be their eyes and ears!
  • Our facility is bouldering only. That means climbing without a harness or rope, and utilizing the mats underneath for safety. We'll make sure to cover fall safety and the facility rules before you begin. To find out more head to the "Your First Visit Page" HERE.

All minors (under 18) must have a waiver completed by their parent/legal guardian.
