Seattle After School Programs
After School Courses
Join The Mountaineers for After-School rock-climbing and nature-based programming! Participants join us one day per week at the Seattle Program Center in Magnuson Park. Programs run for two hours with a small group of other adventurous kiddos of similar ages. We offer 7-week long sessions in the Fall, Winter, and Spring. Each session is unique so that kids can join us all year long and learn something different each session!
We invite youth aged 6–9 to join us for programs on Mondays or Wednesdays and youth aged 10–13 to join programs on Tuesdays or Thursdays. Programs are open to youth of all experience levels, whether you're new to climbing or have been coming to Mountaineers programs for years!
