Narangba welcomed a new, state-of-the-art, indoor rock climbing gym to the community when Exodus Adventures - an organisation specialising in a variety of wilderness adventure programs - opened their doors in January 2018.
The only one of its kind in the Moreton Bay Region, Exodus Adventures Rock Gym offers customers an array of obstacles and courses to keep people feeling challenged. Providing a little something for everyone, the facility offers 30 climbs with over 100 possible routes, six children climbs, three lead climbs, two crack climbs and a ‘leap of faith’.
Run by husband and wife duo, Dingo and Renae Camps, Exodus Adventures was originally founded in 2007, and was born from Dingo’s knowledge and passion of the outdoor industry, and Renae’s background in social welfare.
“We wanted to build a company focused on helping people, with a primary focus on at-risk kids,” explains Renae. “That’s where our passion lies: helping both disadvantaged youth and adults”.
Regularly involved in the facilitation of school camps and corporate events, the couple moved to Narangba with the view to expand their school camp programs. After realising that there was a noticeable rock climbing gap within the community, they decided to set up shop, with the focus not on ability, but rather having fun, bonding, challenging ourselves and ultimately, getting involved.
“We see rock climbing as a very community and family-orientated activity,” says Renae.
Membership to the rock gym is quite affordable, and provides customers with various benefits such as unlimited climbing, one free friend visit per month, and discounts on gear and other activities on offer. A variety of memberships are available to purchase, ranging from one month to 12 month subscriptions. As the sport is very family-centred, family membership packs can also be purchased. All the equipment required to ensure a safe, fun experience is supplied, however seasoned climbers are welcome to bring along their own gear.
Exodus Adventures also offers patrons an array of exciting and adrenaline-fuelled experiences throughout Queensland, ranging from team building exercises to land and water based adventures. White water rafting experiences on the Upper Nymboida River can also be enjoyed through the organisation.
