Best Indoor Summer Activity in Redding: Rock Climbing at Shasta Rock Club
With the Summer heat, it often makes us stay indoors more than we like to. I know I’ve never been the biggest fan of how hot it gets, but we do have the beautiful lakes and rivers nearby. But when all said is done, what else is there to do?
One of the best activities that Redding has to offer is Indoor Rock Climbing. There’s beginner friendly routes, helpful staff, and nice air conditioned indoors. It’s as simple as walking in, asking about how things work, then getting onto the walls!
Redding Summers Are Built for Adventure, But Sometimes You Need AC
When June hits, that’s usually when Redding starts to hit 100 degree weather. Not only that, but we often find ourselves in a fire season with smoke outdoors. When that happens, we offer a fun and active indoor environment away from the heat and the possibility of smoke (If it shows up). We keep our indoors always at a cool temperature so that even if you start climbing, you will still feel cooled down.
Why Indoor Climbing Works for Kids, Adults, and First-Timers
When people think of rock climbing, they think of heights and scary climbs. But our small local rock climbing gym has walls that are beginner friendly. First timers are encouraged to come into the gym and try something fun and new out. Our staff will walk through how everything works, safety, and even give you tips on how to climb better. It doesn’t matter if you’re an adult or a kid who wants to try it out, we will walk you through it all.
A Summer Activity That Actually Builds Confidence
This is the perfect activity for parents who are searching for kid activities to do in Redding, California. Rock climbing helps kids build confidence and work on their strength in a friendly and fun way. Shasta Rock Club also offers youth classes for ages 5-18 through-out the fall and spring seasons. During these classes kids will work on teamwork and build confidence. It’s the perfect thing to do for skill development.
Great for Families, Date Nights, and Friend Groups
If you’re looking for something fun for your family to do in Redding, this is one of those activities! Mom, Dad and the kids can all come in and climb together or the parents can just hang out and watch. We have seating, couches, and even free WIFI if you’re looking to casually hang around. It’s also the perfect date night activity. Climbing is about puzzle solving and that means you can come climb with someone and solve the routes together. We also often get friend groups coming in playing team games, challenging each other, or just casually doing our other activities we have like Ping Pong or Foosball.
Summer Camps at Shasta Rock Club
Our Summer Camps start in June and go all through July. It’s the perfect way to get your kids doing something memorable and unique for this Summer! We encourage young climbers from the of 5-12 to sign up and make new friends, play climbing games, and just have fun. The best part? No experience is needed for this.
What to Expect Your First Time
Before you come in and climb, we recommend filling out waivers ahead of time. This will make the experience more seamless, and get you onto the rock climbing walls sooner! We do require rock climbing shoes, but we offer rentals at a low price. There are beginner climbs, and the staff will do a small orientation with you if you’re unfamiliar with rock climbing. If you have any questions, we encourage you to ask away. You check out our quick visit pages by clicking the buttons below.
