CLIMBING CLASSES FOR KIDS

The Goat Fort seeks to develop youth athletes into strong, respectful, healthy and responsible climbers. We believe in building a foundation of trust and community, and work to instill positive decision-making abilities in each athlete so they are able to continue to grow as people outside of the gym.

Kids Base Camp

This 4-week recurring class is designed to enable kids to be safe, motivated, and self-sufficient climbers. Our coaches create a supportive environment, and help participants to improve their climbing techniques, fitness, spatial awareness, and problem-solving skills.

Tournament of Allies
For Cooperative, Experience Youth Climbers
Fall 2026 (8/24 - 11/20)
This is our newest program. In addition to being pre-season practice for our Thundering Herd travel team, this is also for experienced youth climbers interested in being a part of a growing community of young climbers who are excited about challenging themselves, developing their skills, and participating in a collaborative, social environment.

This program requires social maturity, good communication skills, and a cooperative attitude. Participants will be divided into teams called "Houses," and will participate in a variety zany challenges and team shenanigans where "House-Points" can be earned (or lost). Climbers will need support each other, set goals, and continue to master new and more difficult skills as they attempt to earn points for their House and rise to the top of the Tournament of Allies.
