SBP Poplar Youth Programs
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.
BIRTHDAY PARTIES
Celebrate your child’s next birthday at Bouldering Project with a day full of climbing and fun. Our birthday party staff provides everything from climbing instruction to challenging games located in our private party space.
