THE mostly TRAVERSE CITY

Climbing walls, Saunas and Team Sports with Nick Olson


Listen Later

Nick Olson is a Traverse City native with a passion for building vibrant “third spaces”—places beyond home and work that foster real community and connection. After eight years in New Jersey, he returned in 2018 and has since founded Grand Traverse Social Sports, ELEV8 Climbing and Fitness, and Hearth Sauna.

Nick’s community-building spirit shines through events like two of the nation’s largest slackline festivals and Michigan’s first Sauna Fest, held right here in Traverse City. Whether it’s on a climbing wall, in a sauna, or through team sports, Nick’s mission is clear: create space for people to belong, move, and thrive together.
