COMMUNITY EVENTS

Building Traditions That Last.

Summit Forge is being designed to be more than a climbing gym. These are our planned signature community event concepts — future annual traditions that celebrate the people who serve and protect Central Minnesota.

Note: All events described on this page are future concepts and plans. No events have occurred yet, and no sponsors or partners are confirmed. These are our vision for what Summit Forge can become.

A concept school-vs-school climbing challenge event to bring healthy competition and fitness to the youth of Sartell, St. Cloud, Sauk Rapids, and surrounding communities.

Future Charity Climb Events

Planned Sponsorship Opportunities

Once Summit Forge opens, we plan to offer businesses and organizations the opportunity to sponsor our signature community events. Sponsorship concepts include event naming rights, signage, team gear, and community recognition — all future plans that will be finalized as we get closer to opening.
