Climbing Club
Youth Climbing Club is an exciting after school program offered for youth in Elementary School age ranges. This program is focused on the fundamentals, to introduce your child to the fast-growing sport of rock climbing.
Our goal is to help youth:
Discover a love for climbing
Develop climbing skills under the instruction of skilled coaches
Achieve personal growth and development
Develop a bond and community with other climbers
Engage in a physically active sport away from the competitive nature of other youth sports
Clubs meet once per week and are supervised by staff members who also run activities, games, and challenges during Club meetings.
The price of Club includes expert staffing, any necessary shoe and rental equipment during the weekly program. **Also includes a monthly membership for the child and shoe rentals anytime!!
Our hope is to help the youth of Columbia learn and grow in a safe environment where they can have fun in the company of others their age as well as develop skills to take their climbing to the next level both in and out of the gym. During practices, instructors focus the energy of the group into exciting climbing activities, while building appreciation for teamwork and taking direction.
Instructor ratio of 5:1 ensures that all climbers receive the attention and support they need to grow their climbing skills and find their place in the Columbia climbing community!
There are no prerequisites to join. Maximum 18 participants in each session. Ages 6 - 10.

Youth Teams
Rec Team
Intermediate Team
Competition Team
Rec Team is a place for pre-teens and teens to get together and hang out, work out together, learn to climb, participate in activities and games, and to be part of a climbing community. Rec Team classes are casual, with an emphasis on enjoying climbing, but still have an element of climbing exploration and fitness.
This option is for youth that wish to partake in recreational climbing
alongside their peers, without a lot of emphasis on training and
competition that exists on Team.
The participants have the option of learning how to belay,
should they choose, basic technique and movement concepts will
be covered, along with participation in group games and
team building activities.
