Family Fun

boilerroom.ca — Give your family a break from video games and TV screens! Our indoor wall climbing facility provides you and your family with a healthy option for positive and active recreation. Whether you're looking for a birthday party, a fun activity for a family outing, or regular family fitness, The Boiler Room is the place to be. First time climbers over the age of 14 always start with a short lesson to ensure a complete understanding of the rope and harness system as well as basic knowledge about climbing. Children under 14 can boulder in and around our cave while the older folks are "learning the ropes". The entire lesson takes about 30-45 minutes but climbers are usually on the wall within 15-20 minutes. **PARENTS PLEASE NOTE: The safety lesson requires your undivided attention! Due to demands on staff time, we cannot provide child sitting services while you are in your lesson (it usually takes 15-20 minutes before the climbers get on the wall). If you are coming with young children (under the age of 7), please bring an extra person to supervise them while you concentrate on learning our safety procedures. Ideally, there should be one adult belayer and one adult supervisor for every 4 children age 7 or younger. There is no extra admission fee for those who are not climbing. The gym is not an appropriate place for infants or toddlers. Booking your Birthday Party... Climbing parties are most appropriate for ages 6 and older! We do a lot of birthday parties! A birthday party lasts a maximum of 3.0 hours. If you have 6 or more climbers in your party we can offer you a group rate of $12.50 per child under the age of 14. Those 14 or older are $15 each. These prices include harness rentals and HST. If the children want to rent our climbing shoes it's an extra $2.50 for those under 14 or $5.00 for those under 14 or older. Most youngsters are fine to climb in their running shoes. We ask that you bring one adult (or person over 14 years) for every 4 children in your party. If May 27, 2011 View in Crawl 4
