Open Climbing (FULL)

---

Take your Homecoming & Family Weekend experience to new heights! (Pun intended.)

CLIMBING FULL, REGISTRATION CLOSED.

Gather at Calvin's Climbing Center (a.k.a. the rock wall) for a time of open climb! With 40+ routes and 16 climbing ropes, you're bound to have a good time. Belay on!

Climbing is free but space is limited. You must reserve a spot in order to climb. CLIMBING FULL, REGISTRATION CLOSED.

Climbing times are set for one hour to allow as many families as possible the opportunity to try out the climbing wall.

Climbers of all ages are welcome. Early elementary school climbers must be able to fit properly in a full-body harness to be allowed to climb; final decisions will be at the discretion of Climbing Center staff based on climber safety.

Calvin Climbing Center staff will be available to belay new climbers or provide instruction for families climbing together. If your Calvin student has already received belay certification, they will also be able to belay for your family.

Climbers under age 18 must have a waiver signed by a parent/guardian. 

Recommendation: Wear comfortable clothing that allows flexibility of movement.
