TRY WESTCHESTER’S COOLEST NEW SPORT

If you haven’t tried climbing yet, you’ll be blown away! Climbing is unlike any other sport out there. Climbing is fun from the very first session and it just keeps getting better! You don’t need any experience to have a great time, and we’ll help you with the skills to progress. Although climbing is an individual sport, it’s very much a group activity. And, unlike some organized team sports, everybody participates, so it’s fun for everyone!

Our Junior Programs are designed to get you started and take you as far as you want to go – from casual climbing with friends to competitions and our traveling team.

Best of all, our programs teach more than just rock climbing skills. We focus on team building and offer activities that promote self-esteem through real accomplishment, concentration, and general fitness. The professional instructors at TRC will ensure that your child is climbing safely at all times and having a great time.

Last but not least, all climbers in our Junior Programs are also enrolled in ClimbFIT, our exciting progress system that tracks, encourages, and incentivizes your climbers’ improvements. You’ll be blown away by the skills they take home each and every week!  The best part is that unlike some organized team sports, everybody participates and succeeds, so it’s fun for everyone!

Warning to parents: Rock climbing is addictive! Most kids re-enroll and space is limited. Please enroll early!

Better yet, if you don’t know how to belay, our coaches will teach you everything you need to get belay-certified at TRC.

Club Rock activities include climbing games, team building and more advanced instruction to help you improve not only your climbing performance, but self-esteem, focus, and general fitness. At Club Rock you will have a great time and learn new skills that will help you with your rock climbing and beyond.
