Reno is home to a vibrant and growing homeschool community, and we’re excited to offer a fun, active option for families looking for weekday homeschool activities in Reno. Introducing Homeschool Deal Day, a special midweek climbing deal created specifically for homeschool families, kids, and youth climbers in Reno and the surrounding areas.
Every Tuesday and Thursday from 8:00am to 4:00pm, families can enjoy 2 Youth Day Passes for the price of 1 at our indoor climbing gym in downtown Reno. It’s an affordable, flexible option for homeschool families searching for daytime kids activities, homeschool PE options, and engaging ways to stay active during the school week.
Why Rock Climbing Is Perfect for Homeschoolers
Indoor rock climbing is more than just a fun kids activity, it’s an excellent form of physical education for homeschoolers. Climbing helps kids build strength, coordination, balance, confidence, and problem-solving skills in a safe and supportive environment. Each climbing route (or “problem”) encourages critical thinking, perseverance, and creativity; skills that align beautifully with homeschool learning goals and hands-on education.
Homeschool Deal Day is also a great opportunity for social interaction and community-building. Whether you bring siblings, meet up with friends, or organize a session with your local Reno homeschool group, climbing together fosters teamwork, communication, and connection while kids burn off energy in a positive, healthy way.
A Kid-Friendly Climbing Gym for All Skill Levels
Our climbing gym is designed with kids and families in mind. BaseCamp offers a dedicated youth bouldering room with padded flooring, along with a main climbing area that features routes ranging from beginner to advanced. Kids often progress faster than expected as they build strength and confidence. We also feature auto belay devices that access 35-foot walls on our outdoor deck, which is open during good weather and offers an exciting fresh-air climbing experience overlooking downtown Reno, perfect for trying something new and gaining confidence. Bring lunch, a snack or some reaching and enjoy it on the couch in our sitting area.
Our trained staff will provide a brief orientation to the facility, introduce climbing fundamentals, and ensure your child is comfortable and prepared before encouraging independent exploration of the kids room to start.
