Beginners: Join us for our Youth Beginner Climbing Camp, designed for kids aged 6-17, who are eager to explore the world of rock climbing! Held at Loyola’s Fitness and Aquatic Center Rockwall, this hands-on program introduces young climbers to essential skills, safety practices, and the thrill of climbing in a supportive environment. The beginner module is best suited for kids who have never climbed or have only climbed a few times before without serious instruction/teaching. Your child will be learning things such as: 

-Common equipment and terminology (types of holds, climbing harnesses, climbing shoes, etc.) 
-Basic climbing techniques (footwork, balance, & problem-solving) 
-Understanding injury prevention and risk management  

Beginner youth climbing clinics are $200 per child for 90-minute weekly sessions over 5-weeks. Once registered, more information will be sent out regarding what to bring and where to go!
