Our Climbing Club is a great opportunity for your little crushers to get their feet wet in the sport of climbing. Bouldering is a very rewarding experience, but it can also be an emotionally taxing sport. Not being able to complete a climb can be frustrating, especially at a young age. Because of these challenges, during practice we use a dedicated room just for the program. We also incorporate play-based workouts to help our climbers build a solid foundation that will set them up for the rest of their climbing career. Climbing Club participants do not compete in any leagues. If you have interest in competing let your coach know!

We find ways to provide personalized challenges that help to grow their self-esteem, physical abilities and social development as they enter the exciting world of rock climbing!

Climbers should have a great attitude, and be ready to have lots of fun!

We have five separate climbing clubs, each of which meet once per week according to age group:
