Climbing Party

YMCA ropes staff will provide 90 minutes of bouldering and top rope climbing instruction on our indoor climbing wall. Because of the nature of the dynamic belay, only one child can top rope climb at a time though other children may boulder while waiting.

The above packages come with indoor or outdoor (covered pavilion) space for a duration of three hours (90 minutes of YMCA staff-led activity instruction, 60 min. of private party time, and set-up/clean-up).

You provide your own cake and refreshments.

Participants in the activities must be 6+ years of age.

Bouldering is climbing side-to-side only a few feet off the ground and does not require harnesses or helmet, and multiple children can do it at once. Top rope climbing is climbing up to the ceiling using a rope attached to a participants harness and attached to a staff member.
