Prerequisites:
All participants over 10, or Peak Pushers 1/an equal amount of climbing experience.
NOTE: If the program option you're looking for is booked, please call the gym (902) 428-0043 so we can put you on a waitlist in case a spot opens up.
Can I stay and watch my youth?
We ask that parents leave during class times so that youth can be free to develop as individuals in a safe and positive environment with peers their age. If you would like to stay, we ask that you watch from the mezzanine of our gym for the first or last 15 minutes. A reminder that even if you are not climbing, anyone entering the gym past the lobby must sign a waiver.
Will my youth learn how to belay?
Yes! Peak Pushers 2 participants will have the opportunity to learn how to belay during the class. Once they have learned, they will only be permitted to belay during program hours under coach supervision
What are my next steps after this semester?
Program advancement is age-based unless otherwise advised by the participant's coaches. Programs build on skills over multiple semesters so your child will always be learning and progressing even if signed up for the same level of class. Once they are ready, their coach will either refer them to the Development Program or the Summit Seekers Program.
What is the goal of these classes?
The goal is to teach youth about climbing through structured lessons and games, and to create a fun environment with learning outcomes. Participants can expect to play a lot of games, participate in structured drills and lesson plans, and meet new pals!
Deposits and payments are non-refundable.
East Peak is not responsible for missed classes outside of Snow Day/Extenuating Circumstances cancellations.
East Peak does not offer single participant make-up classes due to the short program schedule, mandatory ratios, and staffing. It is the responsibility of the program bookee to ensure they or their participant is available to attend each scheduled class before they book. Switching to another day is never a guarantee as many of our program days fill quickly.
Snow Days: East Peak recognizes that inclement weather can pose unsafe travel to and from East Peak. East Peak’s Snow Day cancellations are decided based on road conditions and forecasted weather changes throughout the day. You can expect to receive an email notifying you of the cancellation from East Peak. Please ensure the email you book with is correct, as all correspondence is conducted via email. If you do not receive a confirmation email from us, let us know right away so we can ensure your email is correct.
