CLIMBING CLASSES

2.jpg

Our goal is to help your child gain strength, knowledge, and self-confidence while building friendships along the way. We offer a variety of programs suited for your preschooler up to your high school student, whether they're interested in recreational climbing, team competition, or parkour. 

When enrolled in a youth program, your child receives membership benefits to Challenge Rocks which include:

  • Unlimited access to auto belays, bouldering, and American Ninja Warrior props

  • FREE Harness and shoe rental

  • Parents receive FREE belay certification

  • Sibling discount (10% off for each additional sibling)


We will run on the school calendar year (Sept 1, 2024- June 30, 2025) and offer ongoing, open enrollment for our classes, on a monthly tuition basis. As long as there is an opening in a class, you have the opportunity to become an active participant.

 

We're here to help you and your child enter into the joy of rock climbing and parkour.  Please contact us with any questions you may have.
