Beginner Climbing Team
Beginner Team (Ages 7-9) is for kids interested in growing their skills as a climber in a structured environment with the help of experienced coaches.
Climbers must be able to listen to and follow instructions from coaches, practice safe climbing, follow basic warm up routines, and show the ability to work within a team setting by following rules and being encouraging.
Beginner Team Scheduling Options
We offer two Beginner Team schedules per week. Climbers will either join the Monday/Wednesday schedule or the Tuesday/Thursday schedule.
In general: No School means No Practice. This policy also applies to the next day’s team to keep things fair. (Example: If Monday’s team misses practice due to a holiday, Tuesday’s team will not meet either—even if there’s school that day).
Moday/Wednesday- 3:45-4:45PM
Session #1 starts Wednesday, August 26th and runs for 8 weeks with twice a week practices on Mondays/Wednesdays from 3:45-4:45PM.
Kids will learn basic climbing technique, terminology, and gym etiquette.
Team Fees: $250*
Tuesday/ Thursday- 3:45-4:45PM
Session #1 starts Thursday, August 27th and runs for 8 weeks with twice a week practices on Tuesdays/Thursdays from 3:45-4:45PM.

Team Fees: $250*

Want to Try Climbing Before booking a Team Session?
If you think your kiddo would be interested in joining the climbing team, but has never climbed before or received instruction, try out a Never Have I Ever Bouldered class.
It includes one-time instruction with our staff, plus 2 WEEKS of unlimited access to our gym. At $50 per climber, this is a great value, and a great way to learn the sport safely before committing to a membership or team session. You can register up to 4 kids for one session.
Not sure if Beginner Team is the right fit?
While our teams are divided by age, we know that some youth climbers may progress more quickly than their peers. That’s why climbers can be invited to join an older team based not only on ability, but also on their readiness to meet the expectations of that group. Skill is only part of the equation—we also look for maturity, focus, and a commitment to being a positive, respectful teammate.
We work hard to make sure our climbers are placed on the most appropriate team for their climbing level and team cohesiveness. We also reserve the right to place participants accordingly. If you have questions about this, please email us at youthprograms@stonetreeclimbing.com.
Interested In competitions?
Many of our climbing team members enjoy participating in local and regional climbing competitions, otherwise abbreviated as “comps”. This is NOT a requirement of any Stonetree Climbing Teams. Some climbers only participate in the annual Stonetree Showdown. Others travel to check out other Local competitions. And some compete in qualifying events in order to compete at divisionals or nationals.
