After School Programs

Press Play

We believe in the power of difficult play.

Connect. Grow. Climb. Call it higher learning. Our after-school programs provide kids a chance to take their first steps into the sport all the way to reaching its highest levels. Our instructors meet kids at their skill level.

Mini-Mountaineers Drop-In Class (Ages 3-4)

A 45-minute drop-in class for our youngest climbers to channel their explosive, creative energy into climbing in a safe, fun environment with their parent or caretaker! Excellent option for kids who are already exploring climbing structures at the playground and more. Participants will develop their risk assessment, basic body awareness, and teamwork.

Participants must be potty-trained.

Saturdays: 10:00 AM -10:45 AM

Pebbles 10-Week Session (Ages 5-6)

This class introduces young climbers to the fundamentals while building up their skills. Watch as they grow and have a blast reaching new heights! Each week, we will introduce climbers to a new concept and grow on the previous weeks’ focus. Students will work on risk assessment, safety, problem-solving, and so much more in a fun, social environment.

Registration NOW OPEN for Fall 10-Week Sessions

Enrollment for the full 10-week session is required.

Rocks 10-Week Sessions (Ages 7-9)

This fun-filled class strengthens the basics of climbing, like footwork and body awareness, to deepen their understanding. Additionally, climbers will be introduced to more complex topics such as power, static vs. dynamic movement, and more, in a gamified approach.

Boulders 10-Week Sessions (Ages 10-12)

We’re thrilled to announce a significant and exciting change to our Afterschool Programs, designed to offer more flexibility and convenience for your family!

We’re moving to an ongoing monthly registration model! This means:

  • Continuous Enrollment: Your child will stay enrolled in the program automatically until you decide to stop. No more needing to sign up every 10 weeks!
  • Simple Monthly Billing: You’ll now be charged on the first of every month, instead of signing up every 10-weeks.
  • Consistent Value: The price still breaks down to the same great value as our previous 10-week sessions, $35 per class. Your monthly rate will depend on how many classes are happening that particular month. 
  • Flexible Make-Ups: If your child misses a class or we have to cancel a class, we’ve got you covered! They can either join a makeup class or receive a day pass added to their account to use at their convenience.
  • Larger Class Size: Boulders is one of our most popular classes! This model will allow us to increase class size and expand this opportunity to more young climbers. 

Registration NOW OPEN. These are $0 tickets to hold your spot! Once you have registered, a member from the programs team will reach out to set up your monthly payments.

Teen Club (Ages 13-15)

Teen Club is for climbers of all skill levels who want to be a part of a training program and community of climbers without the goal of preparing for competition. Includes one class a week, plus full membership perks.

Here’s what awaits:

  • Skill Development: Develop climbing basics, learn advanced techniques & power moves.
  • Rock Solid Community: Collaborate, challenge yourself, & build meaningful friendships. Learn and laugh in a supportive, non-competitive environment.
  • Climb Solo: Hone your skills independently outside of class with full membership access.
  • Member Perks: Enjoy a 10% discount on climbing gear and the ability to freeze your membership for 3 months a year. Bring 2 friends per month with guest passes

This is a membership-based program. Sign up and stay climbing for as long as you choose, no need to re-sign up every 10 weeks! Instead, climbers will be billed monthly for continuous enrollment.

Offered Tuesday and Thursday 4:30-6:30 pm, and Saturday 10:30-12:30 pm.

Youth Rules and Expectations

Climbing is an exciting and fun sport—but it does come with risks. We insist on highly-attentive adult supervision to mitigate these risks for youth and other climbers. Before climbing with us, please read through our Rules and Expectations.

  1. Youth under the age of 14 must be closely accompanied by an adult at all times.
  2.  Our supervision ratio is 2 to 1; up to 2 youth climbers can be supervised by 1 adult chaperone at a time.
  3. Stay far from the walls and out of fall zones when moving through the gym or waiting to climb. A “fall zone” is anywhere on the mats where a climber could land if they were to fall. 
  4. Make sure to check where a route ends before starting to climb–some routes are close together or even overlap, and you don’t want to end up directly above, below, or next to another climber. 
  5. This is a climbing gym! Please save running, wrestling, horseplay, and gymnastics for other spaces. 

Due to programming, the youth room is unavailable on certain days and times each week. When not in use for programming, the Youth Room is open and available for you to enjoy! To stay in the know, check out our Youth Room highlight on Instagram.

In general, the Youth Room is unavailable during the following times:

  • Weekdays from 4 PM – 6PM
  • Weekends from 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM
  • When Adventure Days & Weeks are occurring
  • When a private birthday event is booked (often occurring on Saturdays and Sundays: 12:30 PM – 2:30 PM, 3 PM – 5 PM)

Have questions about climbing, the facility, or risk? Ask our staff—we are here to help.
