Remington YMCA in Quarry Park — Climbing

My son recently attended the climbing program at Remington YMCA in Quarry Park, Calgary, and overall, it was a solid experience. The staff, especially instructor Jake, were genuinely engaged and supportive, which helped my son feel comfortable tackling the climbing wall. He built confidence as he learned new techniques and made a few friends along the way. One minor annoyance was the long lines during peak hours, which sometimes cut into climbing time. However, the small group size meant that everyone got ample opportunity to practice. As a parent, I appreciated the inclusive environment that catered to different skill levels, allowing kids to progress at their own pace. The program is a bit on the pricey side, but considering the quality of instruction and facility, it felt worthwhile. If your child is active and enjoys challenges, I’d recommend giving it a try, just be prepared for some waiting.

We recently attended the climbing program at Remington YMCA in Quarry Park in Calgary with my 9-year-old daughter. The instructor, Jake, was very engaging and made sure every child felt comfortable and confident while climbing. My daughter was thrilled to scale the climbing wall and even tried some moves she hadn't before. The pickup process was smooth, though we did encounter long lines at the entrance on a busy day, which was a bit frustrating. Overall, the experience was enjoyable, and my daughter was proud of her accomplishments. The program is well-structured and caters well to different skill levels. I would recommend it, but perhaps avoid peak times to minimize waiting.
