Community Youth Climbing Hours


These are dedicated hours for children ages 6–17 to explore and climb at the climbing wall. Staff are available to provide equipment and belaying. Parents are encouraged to climb as well! Staff will belay children unless a parent has passed the CWU Climbing Wall Belay Test.

Parent/guardian must remain in the climbing wall area at all times while the child is climbing. A waiver must be signed for each climber by a parent/guardian at the Rec Center Membership Desk in the presence of a staff member.

Community Youth Climbing Hours


Please note the climbing wall is also open to all Recreation Center patrons during Community Youth Climbing Hours.

Day Time
Saturday - Sunday 12 PM - 3 PM
