Past Event -Climbing Walls at Climbzone (December 6th @10AM)
Join the Pack for some serious fun at Climbzone in Laurel, MD.
Climbzone has over 75 different indoor climbing walls, which have been constructed for every level of ability. Don’t worry if you’ve never climbed before – all climbers receive a short orientation session covering safety and belaying. Climbers can scale walls such as Mount Rushmore, a 28′ tall Suit of Armor, and the Eiffel Tower. There’s also a soft play area and arcade. As with other indoor weekend events in the winter, this is popular and sure to sell out fast. We recommend buying your tickets ASAP.
Buy your tickets here: https://www.climbzone.us/laurel/
You can choose whether you climb for 90 or 120 minutes. For younger Scouts, we recommend a shorter time.
Please contact us at cubpack991@gmail.com if you have any questions.
