Youth Climbing Programs
Autumn 2025 Semester
Registration opens on September 6th at 9 A.M.
Registration opens on September 6th at 9 A.M.
Are your youngsters unable to keep still and climb on everything they see? Enroll them in Zéro Gravité children’s courses.
We offer exercises combining balance, motor skills, and agility on the ground. We transpose the acquired knowledge on the wall, in the form of games, to develop their ease at heights. Also, we teach them the basic safety rules that will allow children to climb independently (except for groups ages 5-6). All this in small groups, for great team spirit!
Our classes cater to children of different levels, ensuring everyone feels welcome and included whether your child is just starting or looking for challenges.
There are 10 classes per semester (one session per week) beginning September 20th (no classes on November 22nd and 23rd).
