At Touchstone, climbing is more than a sport; it’s a passion, and that passion drives our youth programs. For many climbers, our gyms are their home away from home, where they can develop a lifelong love for climbing, build lasting friendships, and grow with the support of their coaches.<\/p>\n
Our coaches are committed to providing a supportive environment for young climbers of all levels to develop into lifelong climbers alongside a community of like-minded peers.<\/p>\n
We offer comprehensive programming and climbing instruction for youth climbers from all backgrounds, ages 7 to 18. Our youth programs offer a clear pathway for climbers to grow.<\/p>\n\t
Climbing Camps (ages 7-12) introduce new and returning climbers to the basics of climbing in a fun and safe environment. Programs run after school, during holiday breaks, including summer, helping kids build skills, confidence, and friendships while exploring the joy of climbing. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMore about camps\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n Entry-level program helping youth climbers build skills, confidence, and a love for climbing.
