Youth Squad

At Urban Jungle, we believe in nurturing young climbers and fostering their love for adventure and growth. Our Youth Climbing Classes are tailored to different age groups and skill levels, ensuring a thrilling journey for climbers aged 5 to 19.

With a focus on fun and games that encourage building confidence, physical awareness and problem-solving skills, students participating in our “Stone Monkeys & Punks in The Gym” classes learn a range of skills, including:

  • The core technique & movement principles of climbing - Climbing is not just about strength. Every climb is a puzzle that good climbers can solve, allowing them to climb more effectively, using as little strength as possible!

  • General good practices for physical health - Warming up properly before climbing and stretching to cool down afterwards to promote improved overall health and injury avoidance.

  • Basic Fitness - We teach all our students the basic exercises that will help, not only with climbing but also help build their overall fitness without compromising their growth.

  • Safety Measures - As with all things, properly undertaken climbing is a safe sport. Our students learn all of the proper safety measures for each of the climbing disciplines.

  • Teamwork & Camaraderie - We firmly believe in building & encouraging our students to overcome their fears, believe in themselves, and support their fellow classmates.

  • Lead Climbing - For those who show willingness, aptitude, and a responsible commitment to safety, we also provide the opportunity to push their skills further and learn lead climbing.
