If my child has never climbed before can I enroll them in Tree Frogs?

Yes— The Youth Tree Frog Climbing Club is a 7-lesson commitment that is open to climbers of all skill levels. If you’re not sure if your child is ready for the 7-week spring season, then they can take drop-in lessons on Wednesdays.

What if my child cannot make it to one of the tree frog lessons?

If your child cannot make it to a lesson because of sickness or other obligations, please let us know in advanced and we will allow your child to join a drop-in lesson on Wednesdays. *No refunds will be issued for missed lessons. Please reach out to safford@climbterrafirma.com if your child can not make a lesson.

Does my child need to arrive early to lessons?

We try our best to start exactly at 4:30pm, so please arrive 5-10 minutes early in order to put on climbing shoes and put belongings away.

What should my child bring to the gym?

Be sure your child is in gym clothes that allow them to comfortably climb up and down the walls. We tend to keep the gym on the cooler side, so your child may want a sweatshirt while they are warming up.

What type of shoes does my child need to climb in?

Anyone who climbs on our bouldering walls are required to wear climbing shoes. Street shoes are not allowed. Rental climbing shoes are included in the price for lessons.

What is the difference between the Climbing Club and Drop-In Lessons?

Our Climbing Clubs are for climbers who can commit to the 7-week lesson plan. Club participants will grow together and challenge themselves during their one hour, weekly lesson. We see the club as a team that will grow together over the course of the fall session and each week our instructors will add new challenges that develop bouldering skills.

Drop-In lessons are for climbers who want to receive climbing instruction in a group setting, but are unable to commit to a full 10-week season. During each lesson, we will cover bouldering fundamentals along with building climbing confidence with fun games and activities. *Climbers can take as may drop-in lessons as they want during the fall session and will sign up for each lesson in advanced through Mindbody.

Is a membership included with the Tree Frog Club pricing?

A membership will need to purchased separately if your child wants to climb outside of the 1-hour lesson window. Membership details can be viewed here.

What if my child is turning 7 in the middle of club season— Can they still sign up?

Children must be 7 at the time of enrollment to be a part of the Tree Frogs Climbing Club.
