Youth Classes
SCHOOL OF ROCK
Our School of Rock Camp is a one-week course that welcomes all experience levels!
In addition to climbing, children will learn knot tying, problem solving and even conservation. Camp is perfect for youth who can’t make the time commitment to Academy, or just want to wet their feet in climbing.
School of Rock is open to ages 6-14, and usually takes place during school breaks, so it’s perfect for those looking to stay busy over winter or spring break!
*NEW FOR 2025*
CLASSES
For 2025, Oahu Bouldering will be offering new and updated youth programs. These programs were created to fit the growing population of youth who want to explore climbing. Our classes give students regular coaching and practice.
Climbers receive instruction on climbing technique, strength, flexibility and coordination. Our classes are a great opportunity for children looking to become proficient at climbing, while having fun, making friends and learning creative problem solving.
Youth Classes are geared towards climbers 6-16.
If you have any questions, or are unsure which program best suits your child, please email coaches@oahubouldering.com
