Kids new to our program, we start them in the Wednesday night feeder program and this is open enrollment on the first Wednesday of each month. This is a one-hour class that meets at 5 pm lead by our head youth climbing team coach. The feeder program is on a monthly enrollment but the first session is a no commitment trial. Kids in this program range in age from 5-13.
The idea with the feeder program is to get the kids acclimated with climbing and our gym and after a month or so, hopefully we can move them up into the two day a week team which meets Thursdays and Sundays. Once moved up to team the kids are in a larger group and with kids in a tighter knit age group. The littles (6-9), the middles (9-13) and the bigs (13-17) (these age ranges are not always exact as we have some 12 year olds on bigs since they are either very skilled at climbing or mature for their age to manage a harder longer practice, etc).
In regards to the next steps for your child, it would be great if they were available the first Wednesday of next month at 5pm to try out the feeder and we can go from there.
Youth Feeder Program Schedule
Wednesdays 5-6 PM
Is your child New to climbing and interested in our team? Is the two day a week commitment too much? Or are you looking to join in the middle of our team trimester?
The feeder program was put in place to introduce kids to climbing and to Summit before taking the larger commitment of team. What ever your kids situation may be, the feeder program is likely the place to start so we can assess where to go from there.
This runs on a monthly enrollment and you are welcome to drop in on the first Wednesday of any month. Prior to coming if you could give us a heads up that would be great but not necessary. You could contact us with the form below, or email team@trainclimbsummit.com.
