Youth Climbing Courses

Avoid the rainy weekend mornings and sit back in the comfort of our indoor climbing centre while our experienced instructors, introduce your children to an exciting new form of exercise. Rock climbing is a fantastic sport for kids and a great alternative to the more traditional options in the Australian sporting landscape. Climbing captures all the social benefits of a team sport while allowing the student to focus on their individual performance and development like a solo sport.

One of our original course offerings since opening, Summit’s Youth Climbing program has been running for over 10 years and have taken hundreds of kids from novice climbers through to seasoned athletes, some even competing internationally to represent Australia!

We develop a strong foundation of skills and techniques with our ‘grounds-up’ approach to climbing that will serve students along the entirety of their climbing journey. As students progress they will be introduced to a variety of more advanced concepts such as lead climbing. Students excelling in our Youth Climbing program may be invited to participate in our Development Team to introduce a higher level of training and progression and eventually make their way to our Youth Squad for a focus on high performance training and competition preparation.
