GIVE THE GIFT OF ADVENTURE

Why the Best Gifts Create Memories—Not Clutter

Every holiday season, we hunt for gifts that mean something—something that doesn’t end up forgotten in a closet or tossed in the donation pile by next December. The truth is, the best gifts aren’t things at all. They’re experiences—the moments that become memories, stories, and family traditions.

That’s where indoor climbing shines. Whether it’s your seven-year-old learning to trust their feet on the wall, your teenager discovering focus and grit, or grandparents cheering from below (or even giving it a try themselves), climbing brings generations together in a way few activities can.

So this year, instead of wrapping another gadget, why not give the gift of adventure? Here’s how to make it happen.

Climbing for Every Age

Indoor climbing is one of those rare activities that truly welcomes all ages and ability levels.

For kids, it’s pure play: climbing builds coordination, confidence, and problem-solving skills—without feeling like exercise. For parents, it’s a fun and active way to connect with their kids in real time (no phones, no distractions—just teamwork). And for grandparents, it’s a chance to participate, encourage, and share in the excitement. Many even harness up themselves, proving that age is no limit to adventure.

At Coeur Climbing, every route is designed with inclusivity and creative movement in mind. Our beginner-friendly terrain, expert staff, and top-quality gear make climbing a supportive, welcoming environment for first-timers and returning adventurers alike.

Climbing together does more than get the body moving—it strengthens relationships, builds trust, and creates memories that last well beyond the session.

Family Memberships: Adventure All Year Long

When you gift a Family Membership, you’re not just giving a month of fun—you’re opening the door to a year of shared adventure.

Our Family Memberships include unlimited climbing access, member-only events, and special discounts on classes and gear. Families can climb whenever they want—rain, shine, or snow—and build routines that become part of their weekly rhythm. Plus, with Coeur’s industry-leading family pricing, a membership for a family of four or more doesn’t break the bank.

Many of our members say their climbing nights have become their favorite family ritual:

“We love our monthly climbs together—it’s become our family reset. Everyone forgets about work and school for a while and just has fun again.”

The result? A gift that keeps families active, connected, and laughing together all year long.

Ten-Punch Passes: Flexible Fun on Your Schedule

Looking for something a little more flexible? The Ten-Punch Pass makes it easy for busy families to fit adventure into their own schedule.

Each punch equals one day of climbing and can be shared between family members or friends—perfect for gifting to multiple people or spreading visits throughout the season.

The Ten-Punch Pass is ideal for:

  • Families who want to try climbing without committing to a full membership yet

  • Grandparents gifting adventure to their kids and grandkids

  • Parents planning weekend outings or rainy-day escapes

It’s the “starter pack” for building new traditions—in both adult and youth punch pass options—a thoughtful gift for families who value time together over more stuff.

Get your Ten-Punch Pass online (adult version) or at the front desk (youth version)!

The Gift That Keeps on Giving

The joy of climbing isn’t just in reaching the top—it’s in the shared journey. Each visit brings new routes, new laughs, and new victories. Over time, those experiences weave into family lore: “Remember when Dad finally topped that route?” or “Grandma’s first boulder send!”

When you give a Family Membership or Ten-Punch Pass, you’re giving your loved ones countless opportunities to move, connect, and grow together. It’s a gift that doesn’t fade or collect dust—it builds connection, confidence, and adventure every time you step onto the wall.

How to Give the Gift of Adventure

  1. Choose your gift:

  2. Wrap it creatively:
    Pair your gift with a chalk bag, a Coeur Climbing T-shirt, or a handwritten note about “family adventures ahead.”

  3. Plan your first climb together:
    Make your first family outing part of the gift—set a date, bring the camera, and celebrate the start of a new tradition.

Create a New Family Tradition This Holiday Season

At the end of the day, the greatest gifts are the ones that bring us closer— to each other, to movement, and to moments that matter. This holiday season, choose connection over clutter and give the gift of adventure.
