Indoor Rock Climbing Skill Building (January Series) 5:30pm - 8:30pm

If you have not registered in Jumbula before, please first create an account using our Volunteer Sign Up 2025 page and then register for this program.

This series is designed for beginner rock climbers with disabilities who want to progress their skills over the course of a few weeks.There will be two groups of participants joining us. The first group will arrive at  6:15pm and is for participants with Spinal Cord Injuries. This group will climb for 2 hours ending at 8:15pm. The 2nd group of participants will arrive at 7:00pm and climb for an hour. We will meet at Central Rock Gym, Stoneham location, where participants will be paired 1-on-1 with a belayer to assist them in climbing. We will work with participants on their individual goals; whether that's to try rock climbing for the first time, get more comfortable with an adaptive system, improve technique and endurance, or something else. 

Participants will commit to attending one session each week for three weeks. Please see the program schedule below.
