While chaperones count toward the occupancy limit of the climbing wall, they are not included in the cost of the climbing party unless they decide to climb.

The party will begin with an overview of some safety rules and how to put on a harness. From there, you can spend the two hours however you wish. Parties typically begin with climbing, break for food and gifts after an hour, and use the remaining time to climb again.

There is no cancellation policy. If cancellation is needed, the party will be taken off of the calendar. We just ask for an appropriate notice.
Will it be too easy?
There is a variety of difficulties on the climbing wall for everyone. No matter the experience or skill level, they will have a great party.
