To All Our Members:  We feel we are overdue for a fun get together.  This being the case the Rock Club is having a Member Appreciation Night on June 30th.  That’s right, Tuesday night we are going to have a party for our members and their friends.  The night will begin at 6:30pm with a friendly bouldering comp, we just want to give you guys new problems to climb and good pysche.  Next we will be serving barbeque and drinks while we watch the latest climbing vid on the big screen The Players.  This video shows Chris Sharma, Lisa Rands, Ethan Pringle and many amazing climbers pulling out the most thrilling ascents, and we will be showing it on our movie screen!  So to our members mark down June 30th, 6:30 pm as a time to be at the City Beach Rock Club to enjoy a fun night.  We encourage you to bring a friend and enjoy the night!

Now that Summer is here parents you’re probably looking to enjoy a nice night out.We thought we could make it easier on you by offering a Friday night mini-camp to occupy your children. It is way better then a boring, expensive babysitter!  So every 2nd and 4th Friday between 5:30pm-8:30pm we will be hosting Parent’s Night Out. Our staff will engage your children with our climbing mini-camp and make sure they are fed with a delicious meal.  We promise they will have fun and be tired and waiting for bed when you come to pick them up.  Take a night off, you deserve it!  Let us do all the work!! If you are interested in signing up for this camp or have any questions please contact Rose@citybeach.com.  We are only accepting sign-ups , no walk-ins will be taken.

City Beach would like to thank all of the schools, parents, and children who participated in Book Bucks this month.  This program is a great way to reward children for their efforts inside and outside of the classroom.  Although the program has officially ended we welcome anyone that received a City Beach coupon to come on back during Spring Break and enjoy a day on us.  Thank you again to all that participated!
