YOUTH CLIMBING

So. Much. Fun.  At Bridges Rock Gym, we're passionate about sharing our love of climbing with climbers of all ages, and we hold a special place in our hearts for young climbers.  Check out our after-school programs, summer camps & school break camps, kids' birthday parties, and private & group kids' climbing instruction.  And for parents looking for something new to share with your kids, we offer free memberships to kids under 14 years of age with every adult membership! 

After-School Climbing Programs
(Recreational & Competitive Climbing Teams)

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...

Group + Private Climbing Instruction

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...
