Grow your kid's confidence with indoor rock climbing. Check out our youth clubs, classes, team, and camps. No experience necessary.
Have your kids skipping screens and going for the chalk in our after school rock climbing club.
The Details:
Sometimes we feel like adventure requires a long journey or novel destination, when really, adventure is more about perspective than place. At Scrapyard, we think adventure can be closer than you imagine.
Our full day program starts with our youth campers spending the morning advancing their climbing through small group instruction, climbing games, and coach mentorship. With new and younger climbers, instruction will focus on fun, confidence, trust, and goal setting. With intermediate and older climbers, instruction will focus on more advanced techniques and building upon prior knowledge and confidence.
Campers will then break for lunch, either brought by the camper or sourced locally. Then, campers will spend the afternoon gaining a new perspective of historic downtown Holland through different, daily adventures.
The goal of this day camp is to offer participants opportunities to experience downtown Holland in new ways through its art, food, biking, paddling, wildlife, and of course rock climbing.
Half Day Climbing Camps
Our half day climbing camps feature the same great instruction, games, and coaching as our full-day camps minus the afternoon of urban adventures. This is a great option for those seeking a smaller time commitment or those focused solely on progressing their climbing.
**Both camps are offered for students 3-5th grade and 6-8th grade.**
Urban Adventures are being finalized and may include:
*While adventures are still being finalized. 6-8th grade camp may involve different drop off/pick-up points to accommodate more fun and epic adventures! More details coming soon.

Team Scrapyard is for climbers that have learned the basic skills and want to challenge themselves and take rock climbing to new heights. These levels will fine-tune skills they have acquired in the past and will teach more advanced technical movements, strength workouts, climbing exercises, and goal setting.
Team Scrapyard’s Comp Team practices twice per week and will attend 2-3 regional qualifying competitions. Qualifying athletes may then attend regional and divisional championships if they progress. Youth interested in Team Scrapyard will participate in a trial night that will resemble a typical team session. These sessions will allow coaches to evaluate climbers’ climbing ability as well as work ethic & motivation, team-centeredness, maturity, and coachability.
Team Scrapyard’s Development Team is for those just testing the waters on competitive climbing. It will focus on exploring movement and technique and preliminary training ideas. Level 3 meets twice a week from September through April.
Details for the 2024-2025 season:
Competitive Team is for those looking to focus on training and competition in the USA Climbing Youth season. It meets twice a week and focuses on technique and training to prepare for USAC bouldering in the fall and USAC top-rope/lead climbing in the spring.
