Youth Programs
Kids Club is a chance for young climbers to experience the excitement
of rock climbing in the supervised environment at Prairie Walls.
Kids love to climb, and as they learn the skills of safe rock climbing they will
also be gaining self confidence, learning trust, improving coordination
and physical fitness. Prairie Walls staff will take care of all the safety
checks and belaying while the kids climb. For kids that have taken our
Get Vertical or Sharp End classes, the staff will provide supervision
while the kids practice the belaying and safety skills they have learned.
