Dyno-Tykes is designed to introduce young climbers ages 5-7 to the exciting world of indoor rock climbing! Our program focuses on fostering a love for physical activity, teamwork, problem-solving, and adventure. Your kids will explore beginner climbing techniques, build confidence, and make new friends in their age group.

Dyno-Tykes meet once a week on Tuesday for 1 hour from 4:30 - 5:30pm. All sessions take place on the boulder wall to maximize climbing time and simplify supervision. Sessions consist of a quick warm-up, designed to get the kids moving, followed by a game to teach a fundamental skill of rock climbing. Each day concludes with a short cool down to let the day’s lesson sink in and hopefully bring calm back to your kid before they get back in your car.
