Sports/"Learn To" Programs

Located in the UGAA Rock Wall Centre, this 2-week introductory program will cover bouldering & top rope climbing techniques in a safe & positive environment. Focus will be placed on indoor gym climbing safety, bouldering for fitness, technique & preparing for the belay test. Learn how to properly tie a knot for climbing top rope and how to belay using a Gri Gri. You’ll have the chance to strengthen your skills by visiting the Climbing Wall in between sessions prior to purchasing a full Climbing Wall membership. No equipment is necessary, just clean indoor running shoes. *Registration ends 2 days prior to start date.

This program is intended for non-skaters or for those with limited skill. Skaters will practice skating forward and backwards, developing confidence and control including stops and turns. Participants must provide their own skates (figure or hockey) and recommend sharpening the blades prior to the first class. Safety pads and a hockey helmet would be an asset to beginners. Participants are expected to practice between sessions.
