After School Programs @ Northeast Portland
For summer and break camp opportunities, see our Climbing Camps.
Introductory Youth Club
This is a great opportunity for climbers ages 9-13 to dip their toes into the climbing world! Tryouts are not needed to join Intro Club. The Club consist of four 1.5 hour lessons, and will get climbers acquainted with basic gym etiquette, technique, and belay skills.
Sign-up now for Introductory Youth Club!
Youth Belay Class
This is for youth that are comfortable in a climbing gym environment but do not have belay experience, or need a refresher to feel confident. Belay experience is required to join our youth teams– this is one opportunity to gain that experience
Please note that your child will NOT be able to belay outside of staff-supervised youth programs. This is only intended to be an expedited onboarding to another team or club.
