Summer Classes

Summer Classes are the same as our After School Classes but in the summer! Since sessions are shorter, some levels are combined. All classes are under the guidance of a PRG coach.

 

Classes meet once a week from June – September. 

Summer Kinder Climb

Each week, kids will learn basic climbing skills like knot tying, footwork, body positioning, movement, and goal setting during the 1 hour session. No prior climbing experience is necessary!

Summer Level 1 & 2

Ages 6 & up

Summer is the perfect time for kids to try new adventures! We combine our Level 1 & 2 classes and kids will learn climbing basics and climbing safety with our skilled PRG coach. No prior climbing experience is necessary!

Lifetime Youth Programs Pass

Summer Level 3 & 4

Ages 8 & up*

Kids stay sharp and strong this summer as they receive advanced technique training on energy efficiency and climbing strategy. They will excel in advanced climbing skills, whether their goal is to stay active or aim for Team PRG.

 

*Adequate experience and prerequisites are necessary for enrollment. Email us for a skills evaluation.

Home School Classes

Looking for a physical education curriculum?

Home School Classes are modeled after our entry level classes and are a great option for the beginner to intermediate level climber. Kids ages 6-15 learn basic climbing technique and climbing safety skills under the guidance of a PRG coach.

 

Want to form a more advanced level class before 3 PM at PRG? Want to create a private class for your learning pod? Email us at kids@philarockgym.com to request class formation.

Classes FAQs

To sign up for a class, please fill out the form. This will be submitted directly to the appropriate Youth Director who will review the information and reach out to you with final confirmation, or to answer any questions. This allows us to find the best fit for each individual climber

 

If it is your child’s first time climbing in a PRG after school program, you can request a free trial class by emailing kids@philarockgym.com!

No! We have after school programs for kids of all experience levels–from first time climbers to veteran competitors. Give us a call or send an e-mail at kids@philarockgym.com to find out which program is best for your child.

*Levels 2-4 do have prerequisites

Classes for the 2024/2025 Youth Program season start in the final week of September 2024 and run until the end of May 2025.

The Youth Class enrollment is a “membership” style billing on the 1st of the month. Each class level has a different cost.

Every Youth Enrollment purchase requires a 2 month commitment to the classes. After that time, cancelations are on a month to month basis with a 30 day notice. Ask about “Freezing” the enrollment instead!

Yes! Our Summer Classes start in June and run through August.

No. Equipment rentals are included in the cost.

We recommend non-restrictive, athletic clothing.

No. The cost of the class includes instructional time and equipment rental. However, members receive extra discounts!

All participants must have a completed waiver form, signed by a parent or guardian if the participant is under 18. All participants are guests of the PRG and are required to obey all PRG rules.

Due to strict ratio requirements, make-ups are not allowed. However, the Youth Class Membership counts a “full month” as 4 weeks, and every 2 months there are 9 weeks of classes. This essentially provides a “free class” into the schedule every 2 months. We build our Fall, Winter, and Spring Breaks into the schedule with this in mind

If you have any questions or need further assistance regarding this policy, please contact the Program Director by emailing kids@philarockgym.com.

**Exceptions:
If the gym closes due to weather or other unexpected circumstances, the Program Director will notify parents/guardians of climbers about the rescheduled make-up session.

30 days notice is required for cancellation.

If you wish to switch to a different class day or time, every effort will be made to accommodate at no additional cost. Please note: since each class has a limited number of available spots, we cannot guarantee availability for a different day or time. To switch class days or times, please email the Program Director at kids@philarockgym.com
