Do your kids climb the walls during the weekends in search of adventure? I know mine certainly do! And so when I discovered the Weekend Kids Belay at Sacramento Pipeworks, I was thrilled. During kids belay, your kids can rock climb under the guidance of a climbing professional.
Weekend Kids Belay is offered between 12 to 4 pm every weekend. You can sign up online to reserve hourly spots for your child to climb on the indoor wall under the supervision of a staff member who will belay your child. Weekend kids belay is offered for kids ages 5 to 17, and a 1-hour session costs $20.
I’ve taken my kids to weekend belay a few times with instructors Kristin Brumfield and Luke Jepma. During the 1-hour session, my kids get to rock climb a few walls of varying difficulty as well as rope-climb while secured to the belay. While my kids are busy climbing the walls, I’m able to take a rare moment to slowly sip a coffee while perusing a magazine. As any parent knows, this is a real luxury that I savor.
Given that Sacramento Pipeworks also has a more traditional gym inside, you could alternatively work out while your kids are climbing. Sacramento Pipeworks also offers an array of fitness classes including pilates, jiu-jitsu, and belly dancing.
