FOUNDING YEAR

A Legacy of Top-tier Training

Since 1998, Team PRG has trained regional climbers to compete at local, national, and global levels. Our highest-level program for youth, Team PRG is the among the longest-standing and largest competitive climbing programs in the region.

Beyond Competition: World-Class Expeditions

Team PRG’s year-round competition schedule is punctuated by expeditions to world-class climbing destinations like the Shawangunk Mountains, Red River Gorge, and New River Gorge, where they sharpen their skills on first-rate outdoor climbs.

WHAT OUR (TEAM) PARENTS ARE SAYING

Our kids have each attended one of their kid’s camps and have loved it! During the camps the kids get a chance to boulder, which my kids would happily do for hours

Rebecca, PRG OAKS

There are many different climbing gyms in our area – Reach, Gravity Vault, to name a few. We’ve climbed there too, and they each have their own great attributes, but our kids unquestionably prefer climbing at PRG.

Elaine, PRG Oaks

Everyone who works there is SUPER nice, very patient, and very helpful. The facilities are clean, the music they play is good, and there are a lot of options when it comes to climbing here. My kids love it here too.It’s a great activity for the whole family.
