Partners & Stewardship

At Salt Pump Scarborough, we are committed to positively impacting the communities we serve, whether that's through volunteering staff time or creating joint programs with other organizations. We don't want to just be "that climbing gym down in Scarborough". We want to enrich the experience of all people that come in contact with Salt Pump and the community we represent. Check out how we are positively impacting our communities through the Partners below.

Kismet Rock Foundation identifies at-risk youth and exposes them to the outdoors and rock climbing. Their multi-year program combines hard skills like rope work and building anchors with soft skills like problem-solving and team collaboration.
