YOUTH

PROGRams

Climbing is a great sport for youth, as it encourages effective communication, leadership, and team skills, and youth Climbers are an integral part of the Grotto gym community. We offer a variety of program and class options to suit the varying skill levels of our youngest climbers.

​

These after school or weekend classes run throughout the fall, winter, and spring, and cover climbers ages 3 - 18, and skill levels from beginner to future Olympian.
