June Update & Join Us for Climber Coffee This Summer!

Posted on June 21, 2026

Thank You!

We raised over $700  in less than 24 hours last week during NH Gives — especially meaningful while we face increased operating costs to build out the gym. You can still make a contribution any time. All donations are tax-deductible.

Join us for Climber Coffee this summer!

Free coffee and smiles every Saturday this July & August from 9-11am at the base of Cathedral Ledge picnic area.  Meet other climbers, get co-op updates, find a climbing partner!

Here’s the recap from our June board meeting:

  • 12-month premise liability insurance has been acquired
  • Build-out: Building committee will be meeting with the architect again to prioritize finalizing the non-climbing wall components of the build.
  • Outreach: Plans for summer community outreach through Climber Coffee (Saturdays in July + August from 9–11AM) and other engagement opportunities are in the works
  • Fundraising: Participation in NH Gives raised $650; a Dine to Donate fundraiser has been booked with Flatbread Company for December 15, 2026; Committee members are meeting with NH Charitable Foundation and other local funders to open conversations about our project
  • Read our full meeting minutes here.

We can’t do this alone.

We are looking for volunteers with the following skillsets to make this gym a reality:

  • Non-profit administrators with experience in fundraising and organizing volunteers
  • Communications and marketing professionals with graphic design, social media, web, and email marketing
  • Engineering, construction of all sorts, and general labor

Join our volunteer list!

You’re Invited!

All interested members of the community are welcome to attend our monthly board meetings. We value your involvement and input!
