School Of Rock FAQ
My child is 10 years old. Which age group is best for them?
We allow 10 year-olds to register for either Rock Club or Rec Team to accommodate friendships between students who may be slightly different ages. Either class is appropriate for new climbers.
Can my child climb outside of their class time?
Your child’s School of Rock registration fee includes a membership to Joe Rockhead’s, active from their first day of class to their last. Rental gear (climbing shoes and harness) is included each time they visit. Please note that kids age 13 and younger must be supervised by an adult (age 18 or older) whenever they are climbing outside of class hours.
What’s the refund policy for the School of Rock?
A 90% refund is available until 1 week before the start of the program. From that point, we cannot offer refunds or credits. If we must cancel a class or program, a gym credit will be issued. We do not offer refunds, credits, or make-up classes for any participants who miss a day.
