Let’s Find the Right Youth Program
Step 1. Who’s planning this?
Private Climbing Lessons for Kids
Many of the climbing trips and classes we offer can be adjusted for youth climbers. Private climbing lessons pair your child, or a few siblings and friends, with a dedicated guide for that custom session. Every session is built around their age, comfort, and goals, whether it’s a first day on rock at Garden of the Gods or working toward leading their own routes. We can also create progressive lessons at a pace that meets the needs or your child. This is also a great opportunity for parents to climb too! Look at the lessons and trips below to find what might best fit your needs.
Summer Climbing Camps
With over a decade in operation our youth camps have gained a following for summer camps in Colorado Springs and Boulder. We group kids by age and experience so everyone climbs with peers at their level. Camps include gear, instruction, and professional guides with youth specific training to ensure your child is able to grow their climbing skills in a supportive environment.
School & Organization Programs
We have worked with numerous programs for schools, scout troops, and youth organizations to provide climbing experiences such as field trips, team building, and summer camp experiences. Programs are tailored to the goals of your organization to ensure we meet the specific needs of your participants. Each program follows a progression so participants build real skills, confidence, and teamwork over time. Tell us about your group below and we’ll put together a proposal.
