Afterschool Programs at Shift

At Shift, we pride ourselves on creating fun and inclusive spaces where just about anyone can enjoy themselves and find success on the wall. Our Circuit Scouts (ages 7–10) and Circuit Seekers (ages 10–13) programs are designed to do just that for young climbers stepping into the world of bouldering.

Over the course of six weeks, in one-hour sessions offered on Mondays or Thursdays, students will be introduced to the fundamentals of climbing movement in a supportive and engaging environment. With small class sizes, each climber will receive personalized instruction to support their growth, build confidence, and foster community as they begin their climbing journey.

• 6 week sessions start the week of September 1st
• Classes run for 1 hour
• Student membership is included! 
• $200 per student per session
• Class offerings on Monday or Thursday
• 1:8 coach to student ratio

Is your climber ready to take their newfound obsession to the next level? Our Circuit Builders program is designed to support growing climbers as they deepen their skills, develop climbing strategy, and build the strength and confidence to tackle more complex terrain.

We believe growth happens in a supportive and inclusive environment. With small class sizes and a 1:8 coach-to-student ratio, each climber will receive the personalized instruction they need to continue progressing on the wall.

Circuit Builders will meet on Wednesday afternoons and is a great next step for climbers who have completed our Circuit Scouts or Circuit Seekers programs—or for those with some prior climbing experience looking to refine their technique and push their limits!

• Classes run for 1.5 hours
• Student membership is included! 
• $250 per student per session

Teen Circuit Labs is where Friday afternoons get fun, focused, and a little bit fired up. Designed for climbers ages 13–16 of all experience levels, we'll explore a new approach to circuiting—using it as a tool to build skills, strategy, strength, and technique during this 6-week program. Expect good music, high energy, and a crew of psyched teens ready to learn and push each other. Plus, during each lab, students can take on the weekly challenge drop their completed circuit card at the front desk for a chance to win some sweet prizes!

Whether you're newer to climbing or ready to refine your style, Teen Circuit Labs is the place to be.
