Our recreation program is aimed at youth who want to climb on a regular basis with other kids around the same age such as siblings or friends. It's best suited for those looking for regular exposure to climbing. This program places a greater emphasis on climb time over structured lessons or games. Our instructors may teach some basic climbing skills if time allows but the primary focus is to maximize climb time. Climbing equipment is provided during class time.

We will be running two age groups with at least one session running nearly every day:

• Sr Crushers (youth born between 2008 and 2013)

• Jr Crushers (kids born between 2014 and 2019)

Funding may be available for low-income families to cover the cost of our climbing programs. Please view our Funding Resources page for more information.

Program Policies - Please Read Before You Book:

• Deposit and Cancellation: At the time of registration, you will be required to pay the entire cost. 50% of this cost will be considered a deposit in case of cancellation. Cancellations of any booking must be submitted in writing to alana@junctionclimbing.com two weeks before the first class to receive a full refund. Cancellations inside of two weeks will receive a Junction gift card for the amount paid, less 50% of the total cost which is considered the deposit. If minimum participant numbers have not been reached two weeks prior to the start of the program, you will be notified (via the email provided at the time of booking) that the program will be canceled, and the amount paid will be refunded in full via the method of payment used on registration. In the event of a mandated closure of the business due to a public health order (or similar circumstance), refunds will be issued for the prorated amount for the days missed, less 50% of the total cost which is considered the deposit. Exceptions to the above are wholly and entirely at the Junction's discretion. Junction's desk staff do not have the ability or authority to process refunds for lessons, programs, or camps. All inquiries for these should go to alana@junctionclimbing.com.
