Earth Treks (with gyms in Rockville and Crystal City) has Climbing "Club" for kids and teens- not part of the team, that offers adults that can belay and also teaches. They also do Friday Night Rox which is a bunch of kids on Friday night climbing.  Bouldering is not less cool - he just may like going up and being on the ropes - bouldering has no ropes, so when you fall, you fall - albeit onto mats, and you can't climb as high.[/quote]

Here's info about Teen Club at Earth Treks.  https://www.earthtreksclimbing.com/md-va/rockville/youth-instruction-earth-treks-rockville/  It's a fabulous sport - the kids are super-fit and super-nice.  Even the competitive aspects are not crazy - the kids root for each other and compete against themselves. [/quote]

It looks like Teen club is just 6 weeks.   Does it go in 6 week chunks all year and kids just keep re-registering?  Does everyone just sort of proceed at their own pace within it?[/quote]

It's a club like clubs at school - much more relaxed than team.  Yep goes in chunks all year.  If I were you, I'd give the gym a call - the people there can answer all your questions - they are very welcoming of teens.  You can find out about classes to belay, bouldering techniques, etc.[/quote]
