A place to meet up, hang out, and climb.
Finding healthy, engaging social spaces for middle and high schoolers can be tough. The Friday meetup is simple: bring friends, climb the fresh sets, and go at your own pace.
Grab a cold drink, coffee or latte with Madcap beans at the front counter before you head out onto the floor.
Three steps and you're climbing.
Under 18? A parent or guardian completes the online waiver ahead of time.
Drop in any Friday or early release day between 3:30 and 5:00 PM.
Tell staff you're here for the Meetup. We fit you for shoes, set you up with chalk, show you around and answer questions.
What people say about Shift.
"My oldest and his two friends love going to Shift. They have these discounted teen meetups where my kiddo and his buddies can go, and I can get a latte (did I mention their coffee is exceptional..??) and work from the cafe. It's so fun that my middle daughter has now started to do this too, which is so fun. We love Shift, it's such a great family environment!"
