Welcome to the MS Rock Climbing Club! Rock Climbing is a fun physical and mental challenge.  This program is an after-school club designed to help students learn about the technique, movement, and conditioning of the sport of rock climbing. This course is open to all MS students, regardless of experience level. Although the sport encourages individual efforts, students will support and encourage each other in a team environment. Catlin Gabel, under the leadership of David Reich (Catlin’s challenge course manager) will provide transportation, instruction, logistics, and inspiration. David started rock climbing as a camper at Camp Norwester, and has climbed extensively in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and California over the past 30 years. Other adult climber chaperones from the Catlin community will accompany the group each session. Student to chaperone ratios will be roughly 6:1.

The club will meet on the following Thursdays from 3:15 - 6:00 pm: 1/05, 1/12, 1/19, 1/26, 2/02, 2/09, 2/16.

The club will travel to the Circuit Bouldering Gym by Catlin school bus and should be back on campus by 6:00 each evening (though traffic is sometimes unpredictable at that time).  The Bus will leave campus from the gym lot promptly at 3:15 on Thursday.  Don't be late as the bus WILL leave without you.

Cost per student to be charged to student accounts: 

$90 for the 7 sessions at the Circuit Bouldering Gym. Transportation, instruction, rentals and gym passes are included.  Students will be billed the full amount, even if they miss a session.
