CLUB, TEAM & HOMESCHOOL

Ready to level up from playful climbs to purposeful progress? Our Youth Club, Team, and Homeschool programs are built for kids who want to grow their skills, build confidence, and be part of something bigger than just sending routes. Whether your climber is brand new or already chalked up and crushing it, we’ve got expert coaches, thoughtful training, and a crew that cheers for effort, attitude, and all the little wins. Climbing’s more than a sport, it’s a place for problem-solving, grit, and developing friendships that stick.

Youth Club

This program is all about building skills, confidence, and community. Designed for beginner climbers ages 8–15, it’s a welcoming space where kids can explore movement, learn technique, and have a blast on the wall. Our awesome coaches keep things encouraging and upbeat, whether your climber’s here to play, progress, or gear up for the next level. No experience? No problem. This is the perfect place to start. No tryout required.

Meet our Coaches

Coach Angie
Angie P.

I have been climbing for as long as I can remember, and was on competitive teams for 9 years. I am a very technical climber who focuses on very clean and precise movement. Climbing has always been such an important part of my life.

 

My goal is to bring my joy for climbing to everyone I coach.”

Coach Griffin
Griffin A.

I love helping climbers build confidence and improve both physically and mentally through climbing. I enjoy all aspects of the sport, from its problem-solving and movement, to the strength and mindset it takes to push your limits.

 

My goal is to create a positive, encouraging space where athletes can grow, challenge themselves, and find their own passion for climbing, just like I did.”

Coach Jacob
Jacob H.

I am the strength coach here at Big Island. I am extremely passionate about climbing and enjoy its unique mental and physical challenge. I have a background in personal and athletic training, largely with youth and young adult athletes.

​​

My goal is to translate off-wall progress into on-wall performance by introducing, teaching, and progressing athletes’ coordination and strength.”
