WHO SHOULD JOIN?

Rocknasium maintains a strong commitment to welcoming kids of all ages. Our Youth Program Memberships provide a fun and educational climbing experience to children of all ages and skill levels. Rocknasium’s Youth Programs encourage hard work, problem solving, patience and perseverance and our experienced coaches will build young climbers’ skills and fitness. Our programs are also FUN! Over the years Rocknasium’s Youth Programs have helped to produce many lifelong climbers and outdoor enthusiasts, including world class professional climbers such as Beth Rodden.

The Rocknasium Youth Team Program is suitable for all climbers age 6 to 18, with any level of climbing experience. The three-tier program allows a young climber at any skill level to join and advance through the program. All that is required to join is enthusiasm and energy.

WHICH DAY IS RIGHT FOR ME?

—Afterschool Juniors (Wednesdays, Thursdays OR Fridays, 4:00 to 5:30 pm):

The Rocknasium Afterschool Juniors program is designed for beginner climbers age 6 to 14 and provides a fun introduction to climbing, group interaction, and exercise for the young climber. Coaching, problem solving challenges, team-building games, fun fitness activities and fun supervised climbing.

—Climbing Club (Tuesdays, 4:00-5:30 pm):

Designed for intermediate climbers age 10 to 16, the Rocknasium Climbing Club is focused on developing climbing skills, technique and climbing specific strength and endurance. Warm-ups, technical climbing skills and drills, group climbing exercises, and LOTS of climbing time help advance the climber’s ability and confidence.

—Team Rocknasium (Mondays and Thursdays, 4:30-6:30 pm):

Designed for more experienced and advanced climbers age 12 to 18, Team Rocknasium is designed for climbers who wish to push their climbing ability to a new level – including competitions and the great outdoors!

Team Rocknasium practices begin with a comprehensive warm-up, followed by climbing skill exercises, climbing workouts and then general fitness exercises.  Our coaches are involved but keep the vibe casual – we are there to provide motivation and inspiration, structure and guidance, but also allow our youth climbers freedom to enjoy climbing in their own ways.

While not a required part of our programs, some of our Team Rocknasium members are active competition climbers.  To that end, we as coaches encourage our kids to take advantage of opportunities at national, regional, and local climbing competitions.  Organizations like USA Climbing and the Northern California Youth Climbing League (YCL), run well-structured competition series’ each year.
