Paul Derda Junior Climbing Team

Our climbing team is an amazing opportunity for young climbers between the ages of 10-16 to take their climbing to the next level. Climbing experience is required and all climbers will have to complete certain skill tests before being considered for the team. Practice will be available on Thursday from 4–5:30 p.m. Climbers will be required to attend one practice each week, and climb at least one additional hour a week. The climbing team will be participating in a series of competitions through the Denver Climbing League (one Saturday a month October–Apr). Please contact Melissa Kennington at 303-460-6915 if you or your child is interested in trying out for team. Space is limited and depends on climber’s age and ability.

Summer Climbing Camp This is a great opportunity for children to spend one week with our fun and energetic climbing staff. Each group meets Monday through Friday from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. Climbers receive their own climbing camp t-shirt. We will climb the majority of the time, however we will take a snack break and an activity break. Please send your child with a bottle of water and a small snack. All equipment is provided. Please wear comfortable clothes and tennis shoes. Each one week session has designated age groups. Join us for some fun summer climbing. Please check back later for additional information.

If needed childcare will be available for an additional fee. For ages 21 years & over. Location: PDRC

Drop-In Climbing Clinics Join us for one of our monthly Climbing Clinics. Our topics will be different each month. This is a great way to meet other climbers and learn something new about the sport. All Clinics will start at 7:00 p.m. and will be 30-45 minutes in length. After the clinic, stay and climb with us. Everyone is welcome whether you are an experienced climber, beginner, or even if you have never climbed at all. A few examples of possible topics are: "Knots, Knots, Knots," "Great Climbing books and magazines," and "How to take your climbing to the next level." All Climbing Clinics will be held at PDRC, no registration is needed but you will have to pay the entrance fee into the facility. (Topic will be posted at the start of each month on the information board at the climbing wall.)
