Youth Climbing at MetroRock

Climbing is a great way for kids to move their bodies, test their limits, get stronger, and have fun! We welcome kids and families at MetroRock and we’re always excited to introduce the next generation to this awesome sport. We offer several options for kids and families - from day passes to private belay sessions to after-school climbing club to climbing team!

Ages 5 and up, no exceptions. Kids age 13 and under must be directly supervised by an adult at a 1 adult to 3 kids ratio. Teenagers 14-16 must have a responsible adult present at the gym.

Here’s what we offer for kids and families at MetroRock Bushwick:

Day Pass

Climb together as a family on your own time! We’ll give you a basic safety orientation, and then you’ll be free to explore the gym.

Best for hands-on parents, kids who have climbed before, and independent learners.

Recreational Team

For climbers aged 6-14 who have a strong interest in climbing. This team is the perfect fit for young climbers who are new to the sport or those looking to climb in a fun and supportive environment.

Private Belay

Get started on your climbing journey with guidance from a staff belayer! Includes one hour of rope belaying, plus gear and a day pass to keep exploring after the session.

Best for those who want a little more guidance, or for parents who want to drop off their kids.

Birthday Parties

Looking for a fun place to host your birthday party? Schedule your event with our personal belay staff and climb anywhere throughout the facility.

After-School Climbing Club

For climbers ages 5 - 15 who are looking for something fun to do after school or on the weekend.

This program focuses on building basic climbing skills, playing games, and socializing!

Camps

MetroRock offers day camp whenever NYC Public Schools are not in session.

Our camp programming provides a mix of climbing, games, and adventure elements on our climbing walls.
