FUNDRAISER/PRE-SALE
After a year of hard work and careful planning, Horizon Climbing already has the funding we need to open our doors. At this stage in the process, we are raising an extra bit of funds needed to add all of the little things that we would love to have for the gym to give you the best climbing experience possible! This money will go directly to funding cool climbing holds and additional training and fitness equipment.
If you would like to donate but are not interested in the items we are offering, feel free to use the donation box near the bottom of this page.

FUNDRAISER FAQ
Where will you be located?
Our gym will be conveniently located in west Champaign, a ten minute drive from the U of I campus and easily accessible by bus and bike. We will be sharing our specific address soon!
What happens if you don’t meet your fundraising goal?
No worries - We already have all of the funding needed to open our doors on schedule. All of the funds raised will go directly toward purchasing the extra things that had to be cut from our original budget. We will also be taking community suggestions into account when deciding which extras to purchase.
Will you have rope climbing?
Trust us - we want rope climbing too, and we know the community has been waiting for years to see it happen. At this time, it isn't financially or practically feasible for us as a start-up to open a rope climbing gym. Hopefully, we can make it happen one day! In the meantime, come check out the awesome top-rope climbing at the university ARC wall! We both routeset there as well.
Is Horizon Climbing hiring?
Yes! We will be hiring desk staff, camp counselors, and instructors in the coming months. Please submit an application on our website under the employment tab.
