The Cove Youth Program offers fun and comprehensive climbing instruction to youths from ages 9 to 18.

Designed for kids and teens, this climbing program combines the thrill of bouldering with expert instruction to foster physical fitness, problem-solving skills, and self-confidence in youth.

With a range of activities in a supportive environment and passionate coaches, your young ones can develop a lifelong love for climbing and its community.

We allow select youth below the age of 13 to climb without supervision, and some supervisors to climb and supervise.

This privilege is only granted to experienced climbers who we have observed display a pattern of maturity and responsibility.

We have offerings for small groups of up to 10 climbers. Click here for more information.

All ages are welcome in our cafe!

We have limited services for youth ages 6-8, and no climbing for youth 5 and under.
