While most of our programs are typically offered free or at a low cost on a pay-as-you-can basis, this event will require a $15 donation to help cover the time of the climbing instructors at Sportrock, who will be staffing the event. Please note that you will not need to pay when you register through the Smith Center website for the program. Instead, payment will be made directly to the Rock Climbing Center, Sportrock, on the day of the event.

Thanks to the generosity of Sportrock, we are able to offer day passes at this discounted rate. We appreciate your understanding and support!
