Program: Girls* Climb On program is for youth in grades 6-10. 

The emphasis of this program is bouldering, building strength, technique, and group support, all within a social emotional curriculum led by the course instructor. 

Each youth is paired one-on-one with an adult mentor to learn climbing and belaying skills in an expansive gym environment.

This program is a great fit for everyone from a first time climber to a seasoned GCO participant. This includes adults who are interested in mentoring!
