Approved TEFA provider • 2026–27

Basin Climbing is now an approved TEFA provider

Texas families can now use Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA) funds for select youth programs and memberships at Basin.

If your student was awarded a TEFA account for the 2026–27 school year, that money can go toward climbing at Basin — the coaching, the training, the community, the thing your kid actually looks forward to all week.

The program

What is TEFA?

The Texas Education Freedom Accounts program was created by the Texas Legislature in 2025 and is administered by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.

Approved families receive state education funds in an account managed through Odyssey, and can spend those funds with approved providers on approved educational expenses.

Basin Climbing and Fitness is one of those approved providers.

Four simple steps

How to use your funds

1

Log into Odyssey

Visit withodyssey.com and sign into your family's account.

2

Find Basin

Search for “Basin OpCo Waco LLC.” That's our legal business name and how we appear in the marketplace.

3

Choose your program

Select the program or membership term you want and check out using your TEFA balance.

4

Come climb

We'll confirm your enrollment and get your student on the wall.

Purchase online first.

All TEFA purchases go through Odyssey. We can't accept TEFA funds at the front desk, and the program doesn't allow reimbursements — so please purchase through the marketplace before your student starts.

Common questions

Why is Basin listed under a different name?

Basin OpCo Waco LLC is our legal business entity. Same gym, same people, same wall — it's just the name the state has on file.

Do I need a TEFA account to climb at Basin?

No. Every program is available to every family the normal way. TEFA is simply another way to pay for it.

How do I know if I qualify or how much I received?

Your account and eligibility are handled entirely by the state. Check your Odyssey account or contact the Texas Comptroller's TEFA program directly — we don't have access to your account information.

I didn't apply this year. Can I still use TEFA?

Not for the current school year, but the state runs application windows for future years. Watch the Comptroller's TEFA page for the next one.

What if I have questions about a specific Basin program?

Ask us anything about the climbing — schedules, coaching, what tier your kid belongs in, or what to expect. Email lauren@basinclimbing.com.
