Our Youth Teams

Resilient. Creative. Capable

Youth Climbing Teams

BlocHaven’s youth programs are designed for climbers ages 6 to 18 where everyone is welcome; from first timers to elite climbers looking to develop their skills. Each team promotes opportunities to expand the climber’s physical and mental capabilities in a positive, supportive environment where interacting with others and being a part of our community is the focus. All programs are led by a highly-trained coaching staff prepared to encourage youth in learning about the sport and how to care for the outdoors while improving their climbing and becoming more confident, well-rounded individuals.
