ClimbTime for Kids (October through May)ClimbTime is a climbing and self-improvement program designed especially for children from seven to ten years old.
October through May, Tuesdays or Thursdays, 3:30-5:30 p.m.
(FYI, during the summer, we have our
Rock 'n Rage Kids' Summer Camps
and parties.)
$60 for one month (four consecutive sessions)
or
$110 for two months (eight consecutive sessions)
NEW: We now accept drop-ins for ClimbTime. The cost is $18 per session.
At the Crux, we realize that children get as much concentrated instruction as they can handle each day at school. Therefore, the primary goal of ClimbTime is for kids to have fun in a safe and encouraging environment. Kids will not only have lots of fun, but learn to climb safely and courteously. Along with this, children gain self-confidence and -determination, with an emphasis on focus.
Student-to-instuctor ratio: 4-to-1
Gear and instruction are provided.
Pre-registration and pre-payment are required (except for drop-ins), as ClimbTime is a popular program.

(In fact, we even have parties for adult "kids.")

Junior ProgramThe Junior Program gives young climbers, 10-18 years of age, an opportunity to train together under the guidance of experienced coaches. This instruction is supportive and encouraging, the goal of which is to build confidence and a sense of camaraderie among the participants, along with a love of rock climbing and physical and mental exercise. The Junior Program meets every Friday, from 3:30 to 5:30 P.M.
The Junior Program is also a training ground for kids who want to join our Crux Junior Team; many Junior Program graduates become Junior Team members. Our Junior Team travels to many climbing competitions on the West Coast. Our team has had great success - six members of our team were chosen in 1996 to compete at the World Championships in Moscow, Russia!
The cost is $175 for a three month membership and three month membership ($225 with gear). An annual membership is preferable, because of the hours required for practice.
