Our after-school youth climbing programs are designed for new climbers and competitive athletes to develop skills, confidence, and a passion for the sport of climbing. Our dedicated coaches provide personalized training to help each young climber reach their goals - whether they’re just starting out or aiming for the podium. Take your kids' climbing to the next level in a supportive environment that encourages teamwork and personal growth.   Learn more...

Our summer camps and school-break camps are an exciting way to keep your child active and engaged during their time away from school.  PLENTY of climbing time, delightfully varied with games, crafts, teambuilding exercises & more!  Learn more...

One of the most popular ways to introduce kids to the fun of climbing is by throwing them a climbing birthday party at Bridges Rock Gym!  Fully staffed, tons of fun, and seriously one of the most stress-free ways to celebrate your child's birthday ;)   Learn more...

We get it - not all kids learn the same, so we have a variety of ways for your child to get started climbing and to help them reach their goals.​  Our intro-to-bouldering for kids group class (broken into two separate ages groups) is a great way to get started in a group environment.

And for those who benefit from one-on-one instruction, we offer personal climbing lessons to help ease the tension of learning something new!  Learn more about how to book a private climbing lesson...

Families that play together stay together.

That’s why at Bridges, your kids under 14 climb free with any adult membership. When they’re ready to take it to the next level, we’ve got youth programming for every stage of their climbing journey.  Learn more about memberships at Bridges Rock Gym...

Just because we’re a mom + pop climbing gym doesn’t mean we don’t have friends.

When you join Bridges, you don’t just get access to our gym - our members can visit our partner gyms all across Northern California twice per month with no extra fees.

We’re proud to partner with the following independent operators across Northern California:

• Mosaic Boulders in Berkeley

Our Intro to Bouldering with Kids clinic is a helpful first step for parents and caregivers who want to learn how to support safe, successful climbing from the start. You’ll learn how to spot, fall, and guide your child’s experience in the gym.

Climbing with your child at Bridges is a great way to stay active together and create lasting memories.

We welcome kids of all ages and offer flexible options to help families get started, from day passes and rentals to full memberships that include free climbing for children under 14.
