All parties are staffed and include our party room rental, paper plates, cups, utensils, harnesses, and a birthday shirt (or Nalgene) for the birthday boy or girl! The structure of the party is typically two 45-minute, staff-assisted (~1 staff/ 5 climbers) climbing sessions with a 30-minute party time break in between! Parties are for climbers 7 and older ONLY. Second grade (or turning 8 parties) is a good rule of thumb to ensure invited friends are also 7+.
