Crux Club

This 8-week climbing program is designed for children ages 10–14 who want to improve their climbing in a fun, supportive environment. Our next session begins Tuesday September 15, 2026. Whether they're stepping onto the wall for the first time or already have climbing experience, our experienced youth climbing instructors provide personalized coaching to help every climber build confidence, develop strong fundamentals, and progress toward their goals.

Participants follow a structured curriculum focused on building strength, technique, and movement efficiency. Climbers will work on key aspects of climbing performance, including mobility, hangboarding, circuit training, and other skill-building exercises. Instruction is tailored to each climber’s experience level, helping beginners build a strong foundation while experienced climbers continue to refine their skills.

The program meets twice each week on Tuesdays & Thursdays from 6–8 PM and runs in continuous 8-week sessions with rolling enrollment. New participants are welcome to join at any time and will receive a full 8-week session beginning on their enrollment date. After completing a session, participants have the option to extend their enrollment and continue building their climbing skills in future sessions for an additional fee.

The program is limited to 10 participants, with a minimum of 4 participants required for the class to run.

If your child is not already a Rocksport member, an 8-week youth membership is included with enrollment. This membership allows the child to return and climb outside of club hours with a parent or guardian serving as their chaperone (required for climbers under 14).

Cost Structure

  • Members - $405

  • Non-Members - $430

  • Before enrolling in a Youth Climbing Club program, each climber must complete one Intro to Climbing Youth class. Returning club participants do not need to repeat the intro class, but are welcome to attend if they would like a refresher.

    The Intro to Climbing Youth classes will take place one week before the start of each season. During this session, climbers will learn the fundamentals of climbing, including safety orientation, climbing gym etiquette, names of walls and holds, basic techniques, and how to navigate the climbing environment.

    Two intro sessions will be offered the week before the program begins: Monday and Wednesday from 5:00–6:00 PM. Please select your preferred session during registration.

  • Sign-ups will be closed 2 weeks before the session starts & cancellations are only accepted until 7 or more days prior to the first day of the session.  If you have to cancel 6 days or less before the first class, your money will be returned to your Rocksport account and can be used towards membership dues, day passes, retail, or future youth club sessions.

    If the youth has to miss a class, there will be no portion of a refund delivered for missing that class.
