Kids at ARC

At ARC, kids can learn the basics of climbing and yoga while developing motor skills, flexibility, and self-confidence in a fun and supervised environment. We have weekend classes, evening classes, summer camps, a youth climbing team, and we also host birthday parties.

Kids climbing programs are designed for children aged 6 and up. Children under the age of 12 must be supervised by an adult at all times. Children must be 14 or over to belay the ropes on their own.

After School and Day Camps

The ARC After-School Program and Day Camps are the perfect way for your kids to stay active, engaged and to have fun while not in school.
