This program covers abilities of all levels with excellent instructor to student ratios. It is perfect for kids (6-13) who know they love climbing and want to continue growing in it but may not want or be ready for the commitment level of climbing team programs. The main goals are to have fun, learn about climbing and develop skills to become a better climber. Our experienced staff will work with your child on developing skills such as technique, endurance, strength, teamwork, safety, responsibility, communication, trust and concentration, all taught in a noncompetitive atmosphere. Additionally it is flexible for you as the punches can be used anytime you can make it during program hours.

Our camps are weeklong adventures of climbing based fun, games, activities, crafts, and friend building to help keep your kids active and healthy during school breaks. Through climbing, kids improve balance and focus while building strength and motor skills. Games and organized activities challenge kids to learn teamwork and cooperation. Campers learn the basics of climbing such as safety, equipment, problem-solving, basic techniques, projecting and different hold/rock types. Lunch is not provided so please remember to bring something for the kids!

The Recreational Climbing Team is designed for climbers 11-18 years old wanting to improve on their climbing skills and take their climbing to the next level. This is the next step up when compared to our other after school programs and is a pre-requisite to getting to the Boise Competitive Team.

This program emphasizes technique, strength, training and strategy for significant increases in climbing ability. However, the atmosphere is more recreational and social then the competitive level. The recreational team does not travel to competitions.

Our program mission is for our athletes to see that climbing can be a lifelong pursuit, enjoyed year-round and one that will always remain challenging, rewarding and a means of self-enrichment.

The Boise Climbing Team exists in order to develop young climbers by accessing all that the Boise climbing community has to offer.  There are currently two teams underneath this umbrella: The Ascender Team and the Advanced Team.  Members of either team are expected to show seriousness and dedication in their climbing.  Team practices include mental, technical, and physical training designed to improve climbing ability and help members reach their goals.

The Boise Climbing Team is organized and run by Brannon Frank. Contact coachbrannonfrank@gmail.com for more details.

The Ascender Team exists to teach climbers intermediate and advanced techniques/skills while preparing those interested for the Advanced Climbing Team.  Youth are encouraged to compete in local and regional competitions.

Focused on improving youth’s climbing skills and abilities, members will be trained as athletes and expected to show heightened focus and discipline in their climbing.  Climbers on this team must be able to lead climb and lead belay and be able to climb 5.11 and V4. Competitions include local, regional, divisional, and national competitions in the Bouldering Series and Sport and Speed Series.
