Beginning Climbers | 10-13

What They’ll Learn

• How to belay confidently
• Bouldering and traversing techniques
• Climbing movement and efficiency
• Partner communication and safety skills

Our goal: Build strong, fit, and motivated climbers—while keeping it fun and engaging.

Program Benefits

• Small class sizes = more climbing and more attention
• End-of-session progress reports
• Clear guidance on next steps (Junior or Club Climbers, based on readiness and availability)
• Social connection with other youth climbers in a supportive environment

Waivers

All visitors must check in at the front desk and have a completed waiver on file. This includes:

• Climbers
• Non-climbing visitors
• Parents dropping off or picking up who want to go beyond the front desk

We recommend filling out a waiver for both yourself and your child so you can observe the class if desired. To minimize class disruptions, observation is limited to the first and last 15 minutes of each class.

Attendance

We understand that students may miss 1–2 classes. The program is built to accommodate occasional absences.

Please note:

• Make-up classes are not offered due to limited space
• If your child would benefit from additional instruction, private lessons may be scheduled for an additional fee
• If your child cannot attend at least 75% of classes, we recommend waiting to enroll until a future session
