Afterschool Programs

After a day at school, kids have a lot of energy and we’ve got a place for them to have fun and try hard.

In small groups with enthusiastic instructors, kids will learn climbing terminology, become efficient through learning basic movement patterns, and challenge themselves at a pace that works for them. The skills taught are developmentally appropriate and are practiced through circular learning.

Climbing Teams

Where we learn a lot about success by trying, falling and trying again.

Our teams provide an opportunity for kids to grow as climbers and humans. Whether or not your climber wants to be in competitions, doesn’t mean they can’t train like a competition climber. Weekly practices allow for physical and mental skill development through goal setting, structured training and camaraderie. There are also multiple outdoor climbing adventures offered to those in the teams program.

Competition climbing in the US is organized by USA Climbing. There are two seasons in competitive climbing, the bouldering season in the fall and the rope season in the spring. Each season has “Qualifying Events” that will lead up to the Championship Season. Those who qualify will be invited to Regional, Divisional and/or National Championships. Salt Pump sends coaches to at least three Qualifying Events and to Championship level events.

Tryouts are held quarterly.
