AFTER SCHOOL YOUTH AND TEEN PROGRAMMING

Here at BKB we approach climbing with a twist -- we integrate classroom-style, process oriented learning into a climbing environment. Our After school programming teaches kids and teens the mental, physical and social aspects of climbing as they apply to life. Register for a single session or purchase a 10-pack.

Make the BKB community a staple in your kid or teens lifestyle!

Our team members are experienced climbers with more than enough energy to keep your kids psyched for a single day or the whole week. This isn’t your typical babysitter type-programming. Our 1:5 ratio allows our team to get to know your kids, making sure their needs are met and creating memories with them that will last forever.

My child has never climbed before. Can they join the youth classes?

Yes, of course! Our instructors are trained to give the best introduction to climbing for all new climbers.

At the start of each youth class, we do a stretching circle in which we go over names, rules, and expectations. Our instructors will teach them the basics of climbing and support them during the class.

Does my child have to have their own gear (shoes + harness)?

No. All youth programs come with shoes and harnesses for all kids. We recommend that all kids wear socks as they will be putting on rental shoes.

My child is signed up for Adventure Day — do they need to bring anything?

Please make sure they have a water bottle, lunch, snack, and are wearing clothes that are comfortable to move around in.
