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.

After School Programs

Our After School Programs offer fun and engaging experiences for all ages. Every path starts with a once-a-week seasonal class built for their age: Tots, Pebbles, Rocks, and Boulders.

School Holiday Camps

School Holidays at Bouldering Project offer plenty of climbing and social time. During their time at the Bouldering Project Camp and Adventure Days they will explore many S.T.E.A.M. projects, as well as guided climbing time. Full-day and half-day options available. Full week discounts also available on certain dates.

Youth Teams

Designed for athletes (ages 7-18) 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.

We offer different team options based on experience and age.

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.

Parents' 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.

SUMMER CAMPS

No School? No problem! Summer Camps 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 BP instructors leading the way. Kids will learn basic climbing techniques, and terminology, and play games both on and off the wall.

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. 

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