We are going to Climb Kalamazoo on Friday 12/4. For those who are not familiar with Climb Kalamazoo, they have a number of large indoor climbing walls. The scouts are taught how to safely climb and we spend the evening there climbing. The Climbing Merit Badge will also be offered by the staff but you must be 13 to take the MB class. We must be out by 8:00 AM on Saturday. Pizza and bug juice will be provided on Friday evening and breakfast will be provided on Saturday. The cost is $50 and covers the climbing, pizza and breakfast.
The Permission Slip and Release Waiver is due by Wednesday 12/2.
Sometimes the ropes can rub and put a hole in your shirt. So wear something that you don't mind if you do wear a hole in it.
