Youth Bouldering Level 1
(ages 10 and up)
Ten weeks. One hour a week.
We believe the best time to learn to climb well is right at the beginning, so that good habits stick. That’s exactly what Level 1 is for. The basics of bouldering, taught properly from day one.
Over ten weeks, your child learns the things that make climbing easier: how to place a foot with control, how to go up without wasting energy, how to look at a problem before touching it, and how to link it all together into movement that feels natural.
Sessions run for an hour, once a week, in a group of up to ten with a dedicated coach. Each week builds on the last, and the pace is calm, encouraging and fun. By the end of the course your child will have worked through quiet feet, straight arm resting, reading a route before climbing it, how to use their hips to reach further, and how to come down in control rather than jumping. That progression is the same whether your child is tall, small, cautious or fearless. The course meets them where they are.
Please note that open climbing outside of sessions requires a caregiver to be present with your child at all times, in line with Boulder House policy. Coaching is available during sessions only.
By the end of the ten weeks your child will have a real foundation to keep building on, a set of skills they can feel and name, and a community to climb with. That tends to matter more in the long run than any grade.
We welcome climbers from age 10. If you’re not sure whether Level 1 is the right fit for your child’s age or stage, just get in touch and we’ll help you figure it out.
Everyone is welcome at Boulder House. Come in, watch a session, meet the coaches, and see what your child is working on. We love having families be part of it.

Youth Bouldering Level 2
(ages 10 and up)
Level 2 is for young climbers who’ve already found their feet on the wall and are ready to go further.
This isn’t a beginners’ course, climbers should already be comfortable moving around the gym and tackling easier problems. Over 10 weeks, sessions build on those basics: stronger technique, reading harder problems, climbing with more control on steep walls, and starting to think tactically about movement instead of just reaching for the next hold. Kids will be pushed to try things that feel a bit out of reach, with a coach guiding them through it every step of the way.
Sessions run weekly for 10 weeks, in small groups (no more than ten) with a dedicated youth coach, for climbers aged 10 – 15.
By the end of term, they’ll be climbing problems that would’ve seemed impossible at the start and they’ll have made a solid crew of climbing mates along the way.
Starting term three, each week for ten weeks.
Ages: 10 and up.
When: Every Tuesday | 4:15 PM: 5:15 PM, starting 21 July to 22 September
Who: Open youth 10 years and up
Cost: Member $50 for the term, Non-member $50 for the term, plus entry fee
