The Outdoor Pursuits program leads exciting clinics every year that highlight some of the greatest outdoor attractions and activities. Check out our list of clinics below and get ready to sign-up for your next adventure!
Kayak Roll Clinic
Our classes are scheduled throughout the year, so check our schedule for upcoming dates and secure your spot today!
Members: $8; Non-Members: $15
These clinics are designed to provide a space for people to practice kayaking skills. Rolling a kayak is a fundamental safety skill for anyone looking to take their paddling to the next level. Whether you have never sat in a kayak or are a seasoned paddler, our instructors can help you learn and improve.
No experience is necessary, but you must be comfortable in and underwater. You will need comfortable swimwear, a towel, and goggles. You may bring your own clean boat and gear, or we will provide the boats and gear.
Intro to Climbing Clinic
Classes available upon request.
If you are new to climbing and do not know where to begin this is the class for you! Here we will teach you the ins and outs of the climbing world including skills like reading routes, how to fall, climbing commands, and the inherent risk of climbing. After this one-day class you will have enough knowledge to walk into any climbing gym and be able to navigate it.
Top Rope Belay Clinic
Classes available upon request.
Do you want to take your climbing to the next level? This one-day class will teach you how to safely belay someone on a top rope route. Students will learn how to use different belay devices, how to safely prevent a climber from falling, and how to effectively lower someone to the ground. Once you come back for your practice sessions, you will receive an endorsement to be able to top rope belay patrons within our facility without the assistance of a staff member.
