Dare To Party Different

• Private climbing areas: Enjoy your climbing party in an area designed specifically for hosting groups. Party areas have climbing routes set for all ability levels.
• Two hours of instructor-supervised climbing: No experience is necessary! Earth Treks’ knowledgable climbing instructors stay with your group the entire time ensuring your guests can climb to their heart's content.
• BYO catering: Enjoy bring your own catering in your private climbing area. Need recommendations? We can help!
• Harnesses are included: Please have you guests wear tennis shoes or similar. Open-toed shoes are not allowed.

Groups are able to bring their own food & drink. Earth Treks can provide a table and a white disposable table cloth to serve your refreshments buffet style in the climbing area - please remember to bring serving utensils.

Having pizzas delivered is a popular option- just make sure you schedule them for delivery in the first half of your program. You can have snacks out during the entire party, but it's best to take a break halfway through if you want to serve cake and sing happy birthday as a group.

For birthday parties, a t-shirt gift for the birthday child is included. Optional party favor bags for all the guests are also available for purchase on the day of your party for $6 each. The favor bag includes:

• Keychain carabiner

After a brief orientation and low sideways climbing games to get warmed up, the climbers will transition to vertical climbing with the help of Earth Treks instructors. While snacks can be out during the entire party, it’s best to take a break half way through if you want to serve cake and sing happy birthday. Then it’s back to climbing until a brief wrap up at the end of the party.

Advance booking is required. For all private programs, it is recommended that you book at least 4-6 weeks in advance to adequately plan your event. Peak seasons may require further notice.
