Kid Friendly Bouldering Hours

We love kids and are excited to welcome them to the sport of climbing! Central Rock Gym Framingham is a bouldering-only facility which means we don’t have any ropes and you don’t wear a harness to climb. While we’re happy to introduce kids to climbing, the sport is inherently risky and the gym is not a playground.

Due to the nature of bouldering, climbers are frequently falling to the floor from considerable heights. Everyone is ultimately responsible for their own risk management, and as such, should at all times be aware of their surroundings and remain clear of where other climbers in the vicinity may land in the event of a fall.

Kids aren’t always aware of the potential consequences of falls for themselves or others, so in order to be able to offer bouldering to children, we lean heavily on parents and adult chaperones to provide the necessary supervision and help us maintain a safe climbing space for everyone.

Any child under age 13 must be within arm’s reach of a chaperone at all times, and bouldering may not be suitable for all children, or very young children. Additionally, we recommend a ratio of no more than three children for each chaperone.

A young girl makes a focused face as she looks up at the next move and lowers her weight on a crimp to get momentum for the next big reach on a climb at Central Rock Gym.

Guidelines and Restrictions

To further ensure safety, children ages 7-12 will have restricted access to the facility. Children under the age of 7 are encouraged to visit one of our other locations with more child-friendly areas.

All participants and spectators must have a valid Participation Agreement on file. Children’s forms must be filled out by a parent or guardian. A non-guardian chaperone is NOT permitted to fill out a form for a child. The online Participation Agreement can be accessed HERE.
