Holiday Help

 While “Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again,” we’re looking forward to anything but! This holiday break, from Monday, December 24^th, 2012 to Tuesday, January 1^st, 2013, we’re offering additional Kid’s Climb classes from 1:00PM to 3:00PM (in addition to the regularly scheduled 3:30PM to 5:30PM Kid’s Climb), giving children a fun physical activity and caregivers a much needed mental break!

Climbing helps kids to develop muscular endurance and strength, flexibility, coordination, balance and focus. It also teaches teamwork, responsibility and trust through belaying, as well as self-confidence and motivation. When children are climbing it is just them and the wall, and they will develop valuable life skills and learn to overcome fear and stress. Our experienced instructors are always available to belay and encourage children to challenge themselves in a supportive, non-competitive environment.

Pre-registration is required and can be done by calling (781) 935-7325.

Give Thanks for Kids Climb!

Why?  Because if you have young relatives from out of town staying with you – or your kids need something to do other than stuff themselves with turkey and play video games – get them to the Boston Rock Gym!  They’ll be using up all that stuffing and pumpkin pie generated energy by climbing our walls instead of yours!  That way, everyone will sleep better – even if it is on a pull-out couch!

Kids Climb is being offered at special times over the Holiday weekend!  Wednesday, 3:30-5:30pm, Friday, 1-3pm and 3:30-5:30pm, Saturday, 10:30-12:30pm, 1-3pm, and 3:30-5:30 pm, Sunday, 10:30-12:30pm. Cost is $25 per child.  Reservations and payment required at least 24 hours in advance.

Belay to Save the Day

In support of the Wounded Warriors Project, we are inviting climbing enthusiasts and novices alike for five climbs with TRUBLUE’s auto belays for just $5. From 6:00PM to 10:00PM on Friday, November 30th, 2012, climbers will enjoy the use of TRUBLUE’s state-of-the-art equipment and 100% of the proceeds will benefit the Wounded Warriors, a not-for-profit that aids and supports wounded service members.

TRUBLUE’s auto belays are suitable for climbers of any level and provide climbing support without a partner, even for those who have never climbed before. As an added bonus, TRUBLUE will match the night’s donation total up to $500.

As the second oldest gym in the United States, we are avid supporters of the military community, offering all Veteran’s 10% day passes, all year long.

Climbers will not want to miss this chance to use the latest in rock-climbing technology and support service members in honor of their service and dedications at the same time.

**Please note: climbing gear is not included, and the $5 fee does not include a day pass.
