Youth Policy
KIDS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME AT EDGEWORKS!
Like adults, kids are expected to share the gym respectfully with other climbers; a climbing gym is not a playground - even though it really looks like one to them!
- All minors (under 18) must have a current waiver signed by their parent or legal guardian; friends, grandparents, siblings, or other family members cannot sign your child’s waiver.
- Reservations are required for non-member youth (under 14); walk-in/day pass access is not available.
- Groups of 5 or more youth (under 14) must be part of a staffed group event or youth program; groups of this size without a reservation may be turned away, members and punch pass holders included.
Youth (under 14) must be actively supervised by an adult at all times; adults must maintain appropriate visual/physical contact with their climber(s) and provide direct oversight at all times.
- Young children must stay within arms reach of a non-climbing, supervising adult; not only for their safety but doing so also makes other climbers feel more comfortable knowing that you’re aware and involved.
- 1 adult cannot supervise more than 3 youth at a time.
- Unattended youth are not allowed on the climbing floor.
- Adults must commit to reading and enforcing our GYM RULES, policies and etiquette posted here and throughout the gym.
- Walk; running is never permitted.
- No yelling, roughhousing, horseplay or gymnastics (flips, cartwheels, etc)
- Ropes are for climbing only; swinging, pulling or playing on ropes is strictly prohibited.
- Never pass under other climbers on the wall or between belayers and climbers.
- Climbers must wear climbing shoes or closed toed athletic shoes; bare feet are not allowed on the walls.
CLIMBING IS DANGEROUS. Our staff may enforce additional precautions as needed to help manage risk for all gym users. If behavior is a problem, climbers will be asked to leave the gym for the day.
