Bouldering Gym · Carleton Place
Opening October 2027

Lanark County's
first bouldering gym.

Ottawa Valley Climbing — built for experienced climbers, first-timers, families, and even the weekend warrior. The local hub the valley deserves. No ropes, no 45-minute drive into Ottawa.

Modern OVC bouldering gym building with families walking in at golden hour

Built for the whole family.

A gym, yes — but really a place for kids to find their courage, for parents to meet other parents, and for the valley to gather.

01. Bouldering

Low barrier, high flow.

No ropes, no belay tests. 4-metre walls with vertical, slab, and overhang panels for first-timers and performance athletes alike. Routes refreshed every 4–6 weeks.

02. Youth & Family

Where kids find their courage.

After-school climbing programs, weekend youth squads, March break camps, and birthday parties that beat any trampoline park. Ages 4 and up — no experience needed.

03. Hangout

Stay a while.

A welcoming lounge with quality espresso and snacks, fast Wi-Fi, and a few quiet desks for parents catching up on work while the kids are on the wall.

Programs for every age, every week.

Structured, coach-led, and built to keep kids moving — without another 45-minute drive into Ottawa.

Ages 6–12

After-school Climb Club

Pickup from local schools, snack, then 90 minutes on the wall. Drop-in or term enrollment.

Ages 10–17
