MetroRock wants to share our passion of climbing with all ages and abilities, so we have created a series of progressive after school programs that cater to the needs of specific age groups to maximize the climber's experience.

Our instructors are experienced with teaching and coaching all ages of kids and believe in the benefits of climbing. The confidence and character that the sport of climbing builds is unparallel with any other sport. We build confidence, trust, focus, and physical fitness while always making sure to have tons of Fun.

The programs consist of one 1.5 hour session per day from 3:30pm-5:00pm. Normal registration is for one day per week but you may sign up for additional days if desired, at additional cost. We offer a low instructor to student ratios to allow for more individualized attention. In addition, parents of kids in the program receive a free Basic Safety class AND the option of purchasing a membership for the same duration as their child for an additional $150, a savings of over 40%. 

Discounts for multiple children and multiple days apply.

*If you have unique scheduling requirements, please give us a call and we will try to accommodate you.
