Welcome to the youth climbing classes at the OAC! We offer a range of classes tailored to meet the needs of climbers of all ages and abilities.
Our classes are designed to help young climbers develop the skills and confidence they need to reach new heights in their climbing journey. Our experienced instructors provide a safe and supportive environment that fosters a love of climbing and encourages personal growth.
YOUTH CLASSES:
Pebbles (Ages 3-5): Our Pebbles class is perfect for the youngest climbers who are just starting out. We use games and activities to help them learn basic climbing skills, including balance, coordination, and body awareness. We also focus on developing social skills and teamwork.
Rock Monkeys (Ages 6-9): Our Rock Monkeys class is designed for climbers who are ready to take their skills to the next level. We teach them basic climbing techniques and help them build strength and endurance. We also focus on developing problem-solving skills and creativity.
Senders (Ages 9-12): Our Senders class is designed for climbers who are ready to tackle more challenging climbs. We teach them advanced climbing techniques and help them build the physical and mental toughness they need to climb higher and harder. We also focus on developing leadership skills and confidence.
Open Teen Climb (13+): Our Open Teen Climb is designed for teens who want to improve their climbing skills or just have fun climbing with friends. We provide a supportive environment where they can challenge themselves and learn from experienced instructors.
No matter which class your child chooses, they will have a great time climbing and making new friends. We offer classes throughout the year, so be sure to check our schedule for the latest class times and availability.
At the OAC, we believe that climbing is more than just a sport - it's a way of life. We're committed to helping young climbers develop the skills and confidence they need to reach their full potential. Join us today and discover the thrill of climbing!

This drop-in class is a great way for teens to socialize in a fun, physical setting. The main focus of this class is to provide a place to meet up and hang-out. Although climbing is always an option, it isn’t the sole purpose of this class. If kids would rather play ping-pong, study, or simply socialize, that is all highly encouraged.
