Development
For kids ages 6+ that love climbing and want to see where it can take them.
Our Development Program is designed to strategically increase climbing time, intensity, and commitment, so the kids can continue towards joining our Competitive Team, or to be successful lifelong climbers and athletes.
Sessions run seasonally or annually depending on the program. All Development programs are eligible for discounted memberships so the kids can climb and further their progression outside of lessons.
2024/25 Season
DEVELOPMENT 1 - Ages 6+
The entry into our development program is for kids who are stoked on climbing and want to focus on progression over games.
There is still a healthy dose of fun and silliness in this program, but the kids will also start learning and practicing techniques and working on mobility.
1 - 1hr long Session per week will get the kids sending, but still keep it fun until they are ready to move up.

DEVELOPMENT 2 - Ages 7+
The stepping stone in our development program is for kids who keep being stoked on climbing and want more.
Technical and physical progression will become more goal focused. The kids will start to understand whether they want to channel their climbing abilities on a more competitive or personal level.
The option is to take part in 1 or both (recommended) - 1hr long sessions per week. They will keep the kids sending, introducing a bit more routine and consistency without pushing them too hard.

The final stage in our development program is for kids who want to keep building skills and eventually move up to our Competitive programs.
Technical and physical progression will continue to be more goal focused. Consistent routines will become part of the sessions. The kids will be introduced to some age appropriate on the wall and off the wall training activities.
2 - 1.5hr long sessions per week will keep the kids sending, transitioning them into higher volume and more results oriented climbing. The Monday session will run alongside our Comp Team training session, allowing the kids to get a glimpse of the next steps and occasionally participate in some joint activities.
