 At Valley Rock Gym, we are passionate about sharing the lifelong benefits of climbing with kids of all ages. Climbing is more than just a sport—it fosters growth, resilience, and a strong sense of community. Here are six key benefits that make climbing a valuable lifelong pursuit:

1. Active Lifestyle – Encourages lifelong movement, healthy habits, and a love for physical activity.
2. Physical Development – Enhances coordination, strength, flexibility, fitness, and spatial awareness.
3. Mental Growth – Builds problem-solving skills, focus, determination, and concentration.
4. Emotional Resilience – Develops confidence, fear management, sportsmanship, and the ability to navigate success and failure.
5. Skill Development – Teaches climbing movement fundamentals, equipment usage, goal setting, visualization, and training principles.
6. Community & Connection – Fosters friendships, teamwork, communication, and a sense of belonging.

Our climbing camps run with 4:1 participant to instructor ratio. We are committed to keeping class sizes smaller so climbers get more climbing time and more specialized instruction. VRG instructors receive quarterly training keeping them up to date on both hard and soft skills in the climbing world. 

•  A water bottle
• If your child has their own climbing gear, they are welcome to use it. Otherwise we provide all necessary equipment during instruction.
• Snacks and lunch.
• A willingness to participate, learn and have fun!

Electronics (iPods, Cell Phone, iPads, hand held games, etc) should be left at home. Climbing can provide an opportunity for kids and youth to take a break from electronic distractions, please help our instructors find success by keeping these items at home. 

 Drop off:

• Youth Instructors will be ready to greet participants at the starting program time. 
• Parents will need to check in their child in the check in/check out binder by signing with their initials and the date/time. 
• After Youth Instructors help outfit their climbers with the correct shoes, they will head to one of the youth climbing rooms to begin a warm up. 

Pick up:

• At the end of the program, climbers will return their borrowed gear to the front desk.
• Before heading home, a parent or guardian will have to check out their child in the check in/check out binder.
• This is the best time to check in with your instructors if you have any comments, questions or concerns.

Parents can authorize unchaperoned drop offs and/or pick ups. Please send an email to    sahalie@valleyrockgym.com  to help document this arrangement. 

 The VRG Codes of Conduct is meant to outline expectations of participant behavior to help foster a safe, respectful and inclusive learning environment for all members. Please review these Codes of Conduct with your child prior to the program. 

#1: I will live up to the core values of respect and fairness.  I will respect myself, my fellow program members, my instructors, and all others in the climbing community. I will treat other members of my program as I would like to be treated, and help them attain their goals through my support and encouragement.  

 #2: I will represent my program positively through my behavior, language and attitude.  I understand that words are powerful and should be used to build myself and others up.
