Outdoor Education

We are proud to announce our newest facility, our climbing complex adjacent to the New Balance Track and Field. With a 20' long by 8' high bouldering wall and 10' wide by 32' high top rope wall, our new facility provides hours of challenge and excitement. Climbing is a great mind and body workout for all ages as it targets hard to reach muscles while requiring focus and concentration. Climbing is also a great trust and team building activity.

Pending weather restrictions we plan on reopening the climbing wall for the season on April 1st. The wall calendar can be found at the front desk, or in the schedule section on the front page of our website.
