The Kids Are Alright
Climbing is a Path
Watching a child apply natural ability and curiosity to our walls is to witness the power of our sport. Yes, it’s meant to be fun, but under the guidance of our Youth Programs, climbing becomes a vehicle for developing resilience, confidence, and problem solving. Maybe most importantly, this is a place to build community and real life experiences.

Bouldering is an exciting and fun sport—but it does come with risks. Follow the following rules to help mitigate these risks. Any parent, guardian or chaperone responsible for a youth must maintain direct supervision over the youth during the entirety of their visit. Please contact your local gym for more information on adult to youth supervision ratios.
Our rule of thumb is treat the gym like a busy street. You need to look both ways before you cross, be sure not to run ahead, and be aware of your surroundings—including whatever or whoever might be above you!
Like we said above, it’s important that you always watch out for other climbers and never get too close to where someone else is climbing!
When you’re on the mats (and in our gym in general), we want you to have fun, but safety is important! Running around, yelling, and engaging in horseplay or gymnastics isn’t just disruptive to other people using the gym…it might also get you hurt!
