Youth Programs

Our youth programs are designed to promote a non-competitive, fun, and engaging environment where participants will learn more than just how to climb and belay. We keep things fun with games, team-building activities, and a heck of a lot of fun. Climbing techniques will be introduced organically throughout the course of the programs and tailored to the growth of the individual climbers.

Club Whetstone is a non-competitive climbing program split into two age groups so that we can best meet your climbers’ needs.
