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.

Kids Night Out
Looking for a fun night out? Treat your kids to 3.5 hours of non-stop fun at our place! They’ll enjoy climbing and activities, followed by pizza and a kid-friendly movie. Book an evening where your little climber will be entertained while you reclaim some valuable “me” time. It’s the perfect way to give yourself a break and ensure your kids have a blast! Pizza dinner provided.
Birthday Parties
Make your child’s special day unforgettable with a climbing-themed celebration. When you plan their birthday on Saturdays or Sundays, the private party room and climbing area will be reserved for your festivities. Different pricing tiers are available.
Youth Teams
Designed for athletes (ages 6-14) who are motivated to improve their climbing skills. The main focus with our team’s is to always grow as a climber through goal setting, training, and building a stronger foundation. The BP team has cultivated a positive, and a supportive environment so that our athletes can feel comfortable seeking out challenging situations.
Competitive teams coming soon.

- 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.
