Summer 2024 youth programs

Looking for a fun and safe way to introduce your child to the exciting world of climbing? Look no further than our Summer Camps for children ages 12-16. Our camps provide a supportive environment for young climbers to learn, develop new skills, and improve their problem-solving abilities, body awareness, and self-confidence. The program is designed for youth aged 12 and older but younger athletes with experience will be considered. We require a minimum of 3 kids to run a week-long session.

Each session runs for five days, Monday through Friday, from 9am to 1pm, at a cost of $265 per week. This includes one morning of roped climbing outside (weather permitting). We offer sessions throughout July and August. To sign up, simply use our gym management portal below. If you’re already a Confluence Climbing gym member and have entered your family group in the system, you can quickly enroll your child. New to Confluence? No problem! You’ll just need to enter your contact information and sign the waivers during the enrollment process. 

Our youth summer programs are designed and coordinated by our program coordinator, Tom Herbert,  Full Rock Guide, ACMG. Our curriculum follows the framework established by Climbing Escalade Canada’s Long-Term Athlete Development Program

Safety is our top priority as we strive to foster a strong and inclusive climbing community in Golden. Enroll your child in our summer climbing camp today and watch them develop new skills, make new friends, and have a blast!

Note that there are grant programs that offer financial support to kids enrolled in organized sport like our climbing programs. See https://www.a4k.ca or https://kidsportcanada.ca/british-columbia/provincial-fund/

We’re always here to help if you need assistance via phone, email, or in person at the gym.
