Afterschool Programs at Shift

Options for all ages and skill levels!

Circuit Scouts (ages 7 - 10) // Circuit Seekers (10 - 13)

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.

  • Classes run for 1 hour
  • Student membership is included! 
  • $200 per student per session

Circuit Builders (ages 8 - 13)

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!

Teen Circuit Labs

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.

Fun, Social, and Challenging for Everyone

Our programs focus on developing a growth mindset, health and fitness, social skills, goal setting, and play in our youth. We’re here to build communities of confident, kind, and psyched people...not world champions (although if we end up developing one or two Olympians along the way, that won’t be so bad either 😉).

Check out all of our programs to find some that are right for you and your family.
