The Powell River Climbing Co-op is a grass roots, not for profit community cooperative gym. We are currently fundraising and nearing construction.
About the Co-Op and the Indoor Climbing Gym
Imagine this: a place for Powell Riverites of all ages – children, youth, and adults – to gather, get fit, and have fun during the dreary winter months?
The climbing gym is so close to being a reality for Powell River… but we still need your help!
Who We Are & What We Want To Do For You
The Powell River Climbing Co-op is a group of local people who are passionate about rock climbing and are bringing a not-for-profit co-operative indoor gym to the Powell River community.
Rock climbing gyms are springing up literally everywhere and there is a good reason for it – rock climbing is empowering, fun, and physically and mentally challenging. It is an amazing way to get fit and connect with others.
It would be an incredible asset to the Powell River community.
The benefits of such a facility would be:
- A place for Powell Riverites to socialize and gather around a healthy activity, especially in the winter months
- A place for Powell Riverities to get fit in a fun way
- A place to grow the Powell River climbing community, which will lead to the development of our outdoor climbing, which will attract tourism to the town
The plan is to build a modest indoor climbing gym in the Townsite, with two separate forms of climbing.
We Can Do This, But Not Without You!
As of August 2016, the climbing wall has finished being constructed! (click here for pics)
However, we still have many costs to cover before we can open the doors. So we still need your help! If you want this … for yourself, for your kids, for the community … then let’s go all the way and make it happen!
