Birthday
Parties
Volta birthday parties include:
-
Our knowledgeable Volta staff will belay (control the climbing ropes) for your party members.
At the start, they’ll give a brief safety talk and an introduction to what climbing options are available at Volta. They will also ensure everyone is properly equipped with shoes and harnesses. Staff members are always happy to answer any questions about climbing or safety.
The number of staff members will be determined by the number of climbers, maintaining a 5:1 ratio.
-
All rentals (shoes, harnesses, and chalk) are included. The staff will hand out rentals at the beginning of the birthday party. You may wear clean sneakers if you or a child do not want to wear climbing shoes. We recommend shoes with a hard sole.
-
The Homeroom is a private space with tables and chairs that can be set up for your celebration. Feel free to bring decorations! If you want to set up ahead of your event time, please check in with our Program Coordinator 📧 Chiara@voltaclimbing.com
Volta is now partnering with Zeppa's New York Pizza in Ellsworth to get you 20% off your birthday party order! Once you book a birthday party, you'll receive a 20% off coupon from us to show upon payment. Zeppa's does not deliver, but is only 15 min away!
-
2 hours. Two hours is an ideal duration, especially if your party members are new to climbing. It allows ample time to climb hard and then enjoy some food. If you are interested in a longer birthday party slot, please mention it in the notes of your party request.
-
Yes! The minimum number of participants for our birthday parties is 10 climbers.
-
Yes! Every person visiting Volta MUST complete a waiver to be in the facility, even if they are not climbing. Volta digital waivers do not expire (unless someone turns 18).
For those who have never completed a waiver before, the Program Coordinator will send the Party Organizer a specific waiver link to track completion.
A parent or legal guardian must complete waivers for anyone under 18 years of age.
-
We recommend wearing something you feel comfortable moving in!
Climbing can be a workout! Pants are recommended for first-time climbers. Our climbing walls are textured and can be abrasive against the skin.
Skorts, dresses, and skirts can be uncomfortable when wearing a harness.
-
Yes, please bring water bottles! Volta provides reusable water cups and drinking water. However, for younger participants, water cups often end up spilled in the bouldering area.
Bringing a water bottle ensures participants stay hydrated and helps keep our floors dry!
-
There is no maximum age range! We encourage everyone to climb if they feel comfortable trying.
For young ages, it depends on the child’s focus if climbing will be a good fit for them. Our recommendation is no younger than 4 years old. Ages younger than 6 will require very active supervision. Please reach out if you have any questions/concerns! Every child is different.
-
Yes! If you have a certain vision for your birthday party, we are open to collaboration.
