AGES 4-5: SPIDER MONKEYS
Spider Monkeys (ages 4-5) learn climbing without knowing they’re learning. Through a multitude of climbing and movement games, we build body awareness, balance, and confidence – all while having an absolute blast.
Spider Monkeys Schedule for Next Session:
We are currently not holding Spider Monkey Classes
AGES 5-6: SCRAMBLERS
Scramblers (ages 5-6) engage in many forms of climbing in pursuit of their first “summit” of our rock walls while learning basic safety skills, footwork, and movement skills. Through student-centered games, we encourage each student to attempt climbs on terrain they might not otherwise try, and we strive to make their time on the wall instructive, satisfying, and a whole lot of fun.
Scramblers Schedule for Next Session:
Avondale Saturday: 8:15-9:15 AM
AGES 7-8: ROCK HOPPERS
Rock Hoppers (ages 7-8) are ready to begin moving away from our vertical walls and on to steeper, more challenging terrain. We utilize fun games and competitions to emphasize the importance of footwork, sequencing (planning your next climbing move), and body positioning over pure strength as Rock Hoppers continue to work their hardest climbs yet.
Rock Hoppers Schedule for Next Session:
Avondale Wed: 6:00-7:00 PM, Sat: 9:30-10:30 AM, Sun: 9:15-10:15 AM
AGES 9-10: ROCK WARRIORS
Rock Warriors (ages 9-10) engage in all styles of climbing to refine core movement skills, master intermediate footwork and begin to develop a fundamental understanding of the interaction between body position, gravity, and rock. We incorporate unique movement specific exercises to develop motor memory and an intuitive feeling for how to attack any combination of rock holds and positions.
Rock Warriors Schedule for Next Session:
Avondale Tues: 4:30-5:30PM I Wed: 6:00-7:00PM I Sat: 8:15-9:15 AM I Sun: 10:30-11:30AM
AGES 11-13: STONE MASTERS
Stone Masters (ages 11-13) continue building their climbing skill set by exploring more complex “specialty” moves, sequencing skills, advanced rope work, and strength training for climbing. Some Stone Masters may work toward our Team Prep series (or even a direct try-out for the competitive team). Several levels of Advanced Curriculum are available for returning Stone Masters, and will be applied individually, at the instructors discretion.
Stone Masters Schedule for Next Session:
Avondale Tues: 5:45-7:15PM I Wed: 4:15-5:45PM I Thurs: 5:30-7:00PM I Sat: 10:45-12:15PM I Sun: 11:45-1:15PM
AGES 14-17: TEEN CLIMBING CLUB
Youth Climbing Club will give your child the opportunity to continue their growth without any pressure of competition as well as with an age group that is appropriate for them. We will incorporate elements of connection such as clinics, post-class get-togethers, and fun local competition opportunities. This class will be instructed by 2 experienced Youth Instructors who will offer assessment, supervision, camaraderie building, and encouragement while your climber reaches their goals.
Youth Climbing Club Schedule for Next Session:
