Recreational Team

Rec Team is a great class for kids and teens of all skill levels. Whether they’ve been climbing for years or have never seen a climbing wall in their life, there is a place for them on one of our Recreational Teams. Rec Team is a non-competitive climbing team for kids interested in improving their climbing in a fun pressure-free environment. Kids will focus on technique, strength building, teamwork, and problem solving through the use of games, team building, and trust exercises. They will also learn valuable life skills such as trust, concentration, and communication. It may also serve as a bridge for any kid who wants to enter the world of competitive climbing. A Rec Team membership allows climbers to participate during the following hours with our coaches. The membership also allows climbers to come climb at our gym anytime during standard business hours.

$150 per month (includes membership and gear)

Rec Team offers outdoor trips when possible for students to experience the joy and challenges of climbing on natural rock.

• Trips can be booked below when available. (The Rec Team doesn’t climb outside during the summer)

If you or your child has any other questions, please contact us at matt.roberts@cruxcc.com or susie@cruxcc.com

 

Q: Are Children under the age of 8 allowed to join the Rec Team?
Yes! On a case-by-case basis and with the limit of age 5, students under the suggested age must be able to follow a group structure and have a willingness to follow a coach’s direction

Q: My child has never climbed before, is this a good program for a beginner climber?
Yes! This program is designed for climbers of any skill level. Our coaches will work with your child to help them progress based on their current skill level

Q: I’ve signed up my child, now what do I do?
You’re all set! Just. Show up a few minutes early for the first session to make sure that your child’s membership and waiver are up to date. Our front desk staff can help your child get fitted into climbing shoes and a harness. From there, our youth coaches will meet with your child and introduce them to the program!

Q: Do I need to purchase climbing gear for my child?
No! Crux provides all climbing gear for free as a part of their youth team membership. If your child wants to get their own gear, we do sell gear in our shop, but it is never mandatory for a child to have their own climbing gear.

Q: Can my child attend other sessions, or do I need to stick with the session I signed up for?
Your child will need to stick to the specific session that they signed up for.

Q: Can my child come outside of the scheduled practice times?
Yes! Any youth programs membership grants your child full access to any Crucx location. Your child would be welcome to climb at the gym during our regular business hours if they are under adult supervision.

Q: Are practices mandatory?
Practices are always optional. We encourage kids to come to as many sessions as possible, but we understand if they miss sessions on occasion.
