Youth
Policy
We do have some rules and restrictions in place to ensure everyone is having a safe and enjoyable climbing experience.
-
The most important Rule: Look up! Watch out for other climbers above. Never walk under other climbers or between the climbing wall and belayers working with ropes.
-
We also have a hard Rule: No Running. Running is not acceptable within the Climbing Gym.
-
We require that you are close enough to communicate with them (without raising your voice), and intervene if they get into a potentially dangerous situation.
-
Active supervision is required, and supervisors are responsible for the behavior of the youth they are supervising.
-
Children ages 8 and under: the adult to child ratio for children ages 8 and under must not exceed 1:2 adult to child and cannot be left alone.
-
Children ages 9-12: the adult to child ratio for children 9-12 years old must not exceed 1:4 adult to children and they cannot be left alone in the facility.

Children ages 13+: are permitted in the gym without direct supervision, however, they must be safe and respectful of our gym etiquette.
