AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS
A Lifetime of Climbing Starts Here
Kids are natural climbers and watching them discover climbing makes for a special part of the Bouldering Project experience. Our youth programs teach kids skills like resilience, problem-solving, camaraderie, and calculated risk taking—all while tapping in to their love of adventure.
Please note: We have a 2:1 kid to adult supervision ratio to help mitigate risk! Kids must be actively supervised by their adult at all times.

- Youth under the age of 14 must be closely accompanied by an adult at all times.
- Our supervision ratio is 2 to 1; up to 2 youth climbers can be supervised by 1 adult chaperone at a time.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
In general, the Youth Room is unavailable during the following times:
- Weekdays from 4:30 PM – 6:30PM
- Weekends from 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM
- When Adventure Days & Camps are occurring
- When a private birthday event is booked (often occurring on Saturdays and Sundays: 1PM – 3PM, 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM)
