Hive Youth Programs This Fall

July 22, 2026

Registration for Hive Youth Programs’ 2026 Fall Term is just around the corner!

From first-time climbers to young athletes looking to develop their skills, our programs offer a welcoming space for kids and teens to learn, grow, and challenge themselves. With a variety of age-based programs available, there’s a class for every young climber.

All participants registered in our programs receive a YOUTH MEMBERSHIP for the duration of the term. This membership provides access to all Hive climbing facilities, so they can keep climbing and practicing outside of class. Please note that all youth are required to follow our Supervision ratios whenever they are climbing outside of their program.

Loved by Parents:

We’re proud to create an environment where young climbers can grow. Here’s what our community has to say.

My kids have taken lessons here for years. It’s impossible to rate how much this place has done for them, especially my son. Their confidence, independence and willingness to try (and fail and try again) has increased beyond measure. As long as they want to climb, I’ll be signing them up for lessons at the hive. The coaches are genuinely kind and take such an interest in the kids. All around awesome.

Wonderful staff. My son takes weekly Bouldering classes there and they're very encouraging and knowledgeable. He loves going every week for the 1.5 hrs and has so much fun. It's a great workout for him and usually he wants to stay longer.
