Teen Connect

Teen Connect

Ages: 13 to 18

Frequency: Twice per month

The Teen Connect program is specifically designed for youth who are 13 to 18 years of age. Indoor rock climbing provides our teens with an outlet for fun, along with many direct and indirect benefits, including:

• Goal setting (and achieving)
• Decision making (positive, sustainable judgment)
• Responsibility, Trust, Commitment
• Problem solving, Creativity, Improvisation

Teen Connect rock climbing programs are run in two different groups on Saturdays, from either 10am-12pm or 12pm-2pm. Registration is limited to 7 kids per group (14 teens total). All new parents are required to complete the Child Information and Caregiver Information forms (found on the right side of this page).

Kids at Heart is proud to partner with The Young Ascenders to support teens in developing key life skills.

The Young Ascenders welcomes youth from all walks of life into the climbing community and provides learning opportunities about support, communication, problem solving, resilience, self-awareness, trust, self-efficacy, positive thinking habits and more via climbing activities. Using rock climbing as a pedagogical tool, we have designed this program specifically for teens.
