Foundations is a fun, beginner-friendly program for youth climbers ready to learn the ropes… literally! Climbers build essential climbing skills like safe bouldering falls, basic rope commands, and work toward completing a Foundations Skills Card, which gives them the skills needed to join our Climbing Teams. If they need more time, this course can be repeated as many times as needed or desired.
Foundations runs in prepaid 8 or 9 week sessions and is currently in session.

Our experienced instructors provide one-on-one (or two-on-one) coaching for Elementary through Middle School-aged youth. Whether they’re learning the basics of climbing or looking for more advanced training, children of all ages will benefit from private instruction.
At the beginning of your session, coaches will take a few minutes to chat with yourself and your child about goals for the lesson.
