Cities/Peoria/Programs/Kids Programs/Kids Climbing Classes

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

  • Our fun, skill-based curriculum keeps kids of all ability levels engaged and making progress
  • 8-week sessions (paid in two monthly, auto-billed installments on the 1st of each month)
  • Student/teacher ratio:
    • Ages 4-10: 4 to 1 ratio
    • Ages 11 & up: 6 to 1 ratio

Most newer climbers will begin in the standard age group/curriculum. Students with significant climbing experience will be evaluated by a Lead Rec Instructor or Youth Coordinator and placed appropriately.

At the end of each session (week 7 or 8), a progress report will be issued to the child and parent, and at that time it may be recommended that he/she move to an advanced class.

AGES 4-5: SPIDER MONKEYS

Spider Monkeys (ages 4-5) learn climbing without knowing they’re learning. Through a multitude of climbing and movement games, we build body awareness, balance, and confidence – all while having an absolute blast.

Current Spider Monkeys Schedule:

Mondays: 5pm-6pm

AGES 5-6: SCRAMBLERS

Scramblers (ages 5-6) engage in many forms of climbing in pursuit of their first “summit” of our rock walls while learning basic safety skills, footwork, and movement skills. Through student-centered games, we encourage each student to attempt climbs on terrain they might not otherwise try, and we strive to make their time on the wall instructive, satisfying, and a whole lot of fun.

Current Scramblers Schedule: 

Tuesdays: 5-6pm

AGES 7-8: ROCK HOPPERS

Rock Hoppers (ages 7-8) are ready to begin moving away from our vertical walls and on to steeper, more challenging terrain. We utilize fun games and competitions to emphasize the importance of footwork, sequencing (planning your next climbing move), and body positioning over pure strength as Rock Hoppers continue to work their hardest climbs yet.

Rock Hoppers Schedule for Next Session: 

Wednesdays: 6pm-7pm

AGES 7-10: ROCK WARRIORS

Rock Warriors (ages 7-10) engage in all styles of climbing to refine core movement skills, master intermediate footwork and begin to develop a fundamental understanding of the interaction between body position, gravity, and rock. We incorporate unique movement specific exercises to develop motor memory and an intuitive feeling for how to attack any combination of rock holds and positions. Pricing for 8 wk session: Members $99, Non-Members $129

Current Rock Warriors Schedule: 

Sundays: 4-5pm and Wednesdays: 6-7pm

Additional Rock Warriors Session starting Late Fall:

Saturdays: 9-10am

AGES 11-16: STONE MASTERS

Stone Masters (ages 11-13) continue building their climbing skill set by exploring more complex “specialty” moves, sequencing skills, advanced rope work, and strength training for climbing. Some Stone Masters may work toward our Team Prep series (or even a direct try-out for the competitive team). Several levels of Advanced Curriculum are available for returning Stone Masters, and will be applied individually, at the instructors discretion. Pricing for 8 wk session: Members $139, Non-Members $169

Current Stone Masters Schedule: 

Mondays: 6-7:30pm
