Youth Climbing Club (ages 10-12):
SBP Youth Climbing Club is designed for kids ages 10-12 who are new to climbing as well as those seeking more climbing experience. Games and activities are tailored to the group’s strengths and abilities, ensuring positive and challenging experiences for all involved. With more structured lessons, the Youth Climbing Club engages climbers with activities that promote technique, strength, and balance.
Homeschool Climbing Club:
The Homeschool Climbing Club is designed for young climbers who have more flexibility during their school day and is offered as a weekly midday climbing program. A small group of kids (10 participants max) will be led through a fun and supportive exploration of climbing fundamentals by one to two engaging coaches. Since this group covers a wider range of ages and climbing ability levels, it may at times be split into smaller groups to meet climbers’ goals and needs.

Juniors Climbing Club (ages 13-15):
Juniors Climbing Clubs offer a collaborative environment for teen climbers to explore more nuanced bouldering technique, identify and work towards goals, and develop their strength, balance, and coordination. Our programs are designed for both new and more experienced climbers alike: instructors will focus on the individual needs of each climber while building a supportive group atmosphere to build community and love for movement.
Advanced climbing (ages 13+):
Advanced offers the chance for our stronger Juniors climbers to dive deeper in benchmarks, strength, and conditioning. This once a week session is intended for climbers who have participated in more than 6 months of youth programs here at BP previously. Ideally, climbers should be comfortable on a V2 minimum.

CAMPS (SCHOOL HOLIDAY AND SUMMER PROGRAMS)
Summer Camps for ages 6-10 and 11-15:
Summer Camps are a great way to spend summer days! We dive deep into a sport whose physical and mental benefits are tangible and diverse, and we have a dependable, caring staff whose focus is youth development.
During the registration process for Summer Camp, you can opt to add a Flex Friday or extended day. During these times, a smaller group of climbers will get to dive deeper into climbing technique, play more games, watch age-appropriate climbing videos, and more!
Summer Camps run Monday-Thursday each week. Optional Flex Friday can be booked during the registration process.
Holiday Break Single-Day Camps:
No School? No problem! Holiday break single-day camps run during Seattle Public Schools’ Winter, Midwinter, and Spring Breaks. Day camps are geared for youth ages 6-10, and offer plenty of climbing and social time. Whether your child is an experienced climber or brand new to bouldering, they will have a blast with our SBP instructors leading the way. Kids will learn basic climbing techniques, and terminology, and play games both on and off the wall.
Single-day camps run during SPS breaks, from 9am-2pm on each day.
