About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Meet us at GR Boulder Park (Highland Park) for a fun morning of climbing and learning! Our friends at GR Boulder Project will lead five mini workshop sessions, teaching beginner bouldering safety tips, techniques, and terminology. Once completed, we hope you feel prepared to get out and continue exploring bouldering in the park and at local gyms, like Terra Firma

This free, all-ages workshop will feature: 

🧗‍♀️ Mini workshop sessions every 20 minutes focusing on five different aspects of climbing. Between each session, participants will have time to practice and ask questions. (9:20am | 9:40am | 10:00am | 10:20am | 10:40am)

🧗‍♀️ Educational scavenger hunt throughout the event, allowing kids to explore the park's climbing features and try ten climbing challenges.

🧗‍♀️ Free used climbing shoes donated by the Calvin Outdoor Rec program. 

Know before you go:

📝 Participants are encouraged to arrive 10-15 minutes early, giving time to sign in, fill out safety waivers, and hear workshop instructions.
