Recreational Team - Fall 2025

Ages: 9–17

Schedule: Monday/Wednesday 5:30pm-7:30pm,
Price: $160 per month + $50 Initiation Fee

The Recreational Team is perfect for climbers who are motivated to push themselves to grow as young adults and become a better climber in a positive and supportive environment.
This program focuses on:

  • Growing foundational climbing techniques

  • Establishing skills for outdoor environments

  • Confidence and independence

  • Goal setting

All coaching staff hold USA SafeSport and CPR certifications. They are committed to developing better climbers as well as fostering strong character through climbing challenges and personal growth opportunities.

Like the Intro Bouldering Team, the Recreational Team has no formal competitions or evaluation requirements, making it a flexible option for climbers looking to enjoy the sport at their own pace. There may be some optional competitions for athletes looking to take part in that and coaches are more than welcome to help athletes navigate the comp scene.

Program Highlights:

  • Skill driven small-group instruction with the goal to learn and put teachings into practice

  • Maintains a coach-to-athlete ratio of 1:8, with a maximum of 16 athletes per team

  • Includes a Boulder Garden membership, along with all associated perks

Youth Director & Head Coach

Hey everyone, My name is Houston! I just finished up my Master of Public Health and am now pursuing a Masters in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling at UNC Chapel Hill. Mental Health and wellness are both central to my future career and the way I choose to live my life. I love to be active and spend time outside, as they are incredible ways to take care of our minds and bodies.

While I am still a relatively green climber, the combination of physical challenge and mental creativity that comes with the sport has had me obsessed from the beginning. Whatever brings you to the gym, don't underestimate the value of fun! I'm excited to work hard with you all, and more importantly have a great time doing it!
