The NSCD climbing program has something for everyone at every ability level. Our staff provides a peak therapeutic experience while passing along the skills instrumental to being a successful climber. Staff performs an on-site assessment that complements the participant information provided prior to arrival and designs a custom curriculum in one of our three learning tracks. No experience is necessary. All equipment and adaptations are provided. Participants must be independent and manage self-care or bring a care-giver to provide assistance.

After School Climbing Club

Discover the thrill of rock climbing with the NSCD’s After School Climbing Club! Designed for middle and high school students (ages 11–17), this inclusive program welcomes climbers of all abilities. Participants will learn climbing techniques, knot tying, belaying, and more, all while building confidence and skills in a supportive environment. Join us Fridays from February 7 to May 2, 2025, at Movement Gyms in Englewood and Golden. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced climber, this is your chance to reach new heights!

Private Lesson
Private lessons are a great way to get one on one instruction! Whether you are new to rock climbing or have climbed previously, rock climbing presents unique athletic and mental challenges, and demands a wide range of technical and judgment skills that can only be learned on the wall. The NSCD offers indoor and outdoor climbing lessons to take your skills to the next level.
