Climbing Center Private Events
About
你是否想为你的学术课程提供课外体验, a team building opportunity for your athletes, or a fun community building event for your living center, we are happy to help! 我们了解大多数参与者在您的小组定期会议时间之外的可用性有限，我们将尽我们所能来适应您的小组. However, 攀爬中心只会在没有公开攀爬或之前安排的项目/活动时接受预约.
New Payment Structure for On-Campus Groups!
As in the past, on-campus groups pay a per Climbing Center staff, per hour fee. 为了让更多的团体可以参加私人活动，第一名工作人员是免费的! This option can work for groups of all sizes. For small groups (<10), one staff may be all that is needed for adequate climb-time. For larger groups, we encourage sending a number of participants to our open hours, before the group event, (免费)30-45分钟的打结和操作绳索培训(被称为“保护课”). 这使得最少的人员集中于团队监督/安全，而参与者在促进攀登体验方面发挥更大的作用. 这个机会将任何活动变成一个伟大的自然团队建设，意味着你的私人活动可以免费! Email Joe Bitely at [email protected] to discuss training recommendations and getting a cost quoted for your event.
On-campus groups are groups formally affiliated with GVSU. Examples include: academic classes, registered student organizations, housing & residence life, departments, athletic teams, etc. Generally, groups paying with an on-campus account/ university funds. 与GVSU有关联的人组织的团体活动不符合校内团体的资格，团体活动将按一般公众价格收费. e.g. 一位教员想带他们的青年团或童子军来攀岩中心.
