Youth Programs

Programs and classes are offered by age and skill level. Our youth climbing programs are known to foster self-discovery, exploration, and refine body awareness and athleticism through a variety of activities both on and off the climbing wall. Our programs are designed with a progression format so no matter your age or ability, there is always something new to learn.

Brand new athletes interested in Comp or Rec Team may be required to Try Out with the coaches.
