Boulder Lab Under 12s Program

Bouldering is an engaging, social sport taking the world by storm.


Do the kids have boundless energy and can’t stop climbing trees, furniture or just about anything they can get their hands on?

Our Mini Monkeys and Super Monkeys programs are the perfect place for them to harness that energy into a brilliant sport.

The Under 12s program is a challenging and fun filled adventure, located exclusively in our dedicated Under 12s Kinder Lab section at Boulder Lab Clayton. Kids learn coordination, athleticism and resilience with dedicated youth coaches helping them all the way through! There will be plenty of excitement, motivation and good times!

Bouldering is building the happy, athletic and sport-loving kids of tomorrow. Come and see why climbing has become one of the most rapid growing sports today in one of our classes, or bring your kids for a casual session outside of our specified class times. 

NOTE: The minimum age requirement to join a class or climb casually in the Under 12s section is 5 years.
