Foundations: Rangers

The Foundations program teaches participants how to navigate climbing spaces in a respectful manner while learning foundational climbing techniques. Key skills covered include proper bouldering falls, basic rope commands, and lowering practices. By the end of the course, climbers will be equipped with the knowledge and confidence needed to participate in ARG’s youth programs or explore the sport in an appropriate manner.

Foundations classes from 1pm-2:45pm are for Homeschool Students. For students who cannot make the midday time, the 4:00pm - 5:45pm time slot as well as the Saturday time slot are our other offerings. However, a Homeschool student may take any time slot depending on their schedule.

Please send your child to class:

- Wearing athletic clothing and comfortable athletic shoes

- With a water bottle and snacks

- With a valid waiver. Your child will not be able to participate until this step is completed! If you're not sure that your child's waiver is up-to-date, please take a moment to fill one out here!

*Alaska Rock Gym has snacks and drinks available for purchase in the retail shop

Not sure if you've signed a new waiver in the past year for your child? Sign one now to save time on the first day of class! Remember - every beating heart needs a waiver whether you're climbing or just watching your kiddo climb! If grandma, uncle, little brother or sister are coming to cheer on your climber, they need a valid waiver.
