CLIMBING ACADEMY 1

Onsight Climbing Academy 1 is an 8-week program that aims to teach your young climbers the fundamentals of rock climbing in a small group setting. Each class incorporates an unique skill development lesson that will improve their climbing ability by the end of the program. Through group-based instruction and personalized attention, we will work closely with each child to teach them about this amazing sport we are all so passionate about.

This course is a prerequisite before taking Climbing Academy 2 & entering a climbing club.

Climbing Academy Absentee Policy: Students who miss ONE Climbing Academy session, and notify their coach of that absence, will receive one punch pass + rentals. The punch is to be utilized during the 8 week time period to make up the climb time missed. No climbing instruction will be provided with that punch. After the 8 week session, the punch is no longer valid. We do not recommend missing more than one class as that may inhibit your ability to move to Climbing Academy 2. Students that wish to make up instructional time can purchase private lessons outside of their Climbing Academy day.
