Welcome to the 2023-2034 Season!
Registration for Session 1 will open Monday, August 21st at 11am!
Spots are limited!
We will be running sessions of 10-week durations. Youth, with their parents, can decide which classes during the week work best for your child’s age group; each class is two hours in duration (excepting the 6 & 7-year-olds).
Youth Climbing Course sessions include both one-on-one scheduled instructor time where each climber has an instructor all to themselves to help them progress on whichever climb or level they have chosen to work on; and group sessions, where climbers are split into groups of similar ability to work on a specific drill/technique/activity suitable for their ability. There is also a specific lesson/drill portion of each session where CRG coaches teach a set of specific techniques or run drills/exercises to practice them. Sessions all end with a final round of stretches. On weekends, sessions run a bit differently: we open the gym up early for the youth program (so we have the gym all to ourselves until eleven).
Our instructors have lots of experience working with kids of all ages. We have a whole crew of strong climbers that help us carry out the lessons/drills and helping the kids one-on-one. The Youth Program coaching team is made up of the gym’s staff, and older members from our youth competitive team. There’s a great mix of styles and experience for the kids to draw from.

Head Youth Program Coaches
Regan – Head Youth Program Coach
Regan (aka Reggie!) began rock climbing in 2021 at Coyote with friends and quickly became a consistent regular! Regan mainly enjoys climbing outside travelling all over Ottawa/Gatineau and out to the Rockies, Red Rocks, The Adirondacks and Red River Gorge to rock, mixed and ice climb. She is both an intro plus coach and Youth Program Head coach as she loves to teach and provide a positive atmosphere for everyone around. While in the warmer months she spends as much time outside climbing, biking and swimming, in the winter she spends her free time getting outside ice climbing, skiing, and camping!
Tyler – Head Youth Program Coach
Tyler has been with Coyote since 2012, starting out as a member of the gym’s youth program at the age of 10! After his years in the youth program Tyler became one of the gym’s coaches for that very same youth program. He has been with Coyote for several years as both a coach and lead counsellor for our summer camps. In his free time he enjoys spending time with his dog Murphy!
