Afterschool Programs
COMPASS MONTESSORI: AFTER SCHOOL CLIMBING/ WiLDERNESS SURVIVAL - FALL 2025
(For Compass Montessori Students ONLY)
Get ready to rock your Tuesdays! This fall, Compass Montessori students in grades 1–5 are invited to climb to new heights in a 12-week after-school indoor climbing program at the brand-new wall at the Colorado Mountain Club in Golden. Whether your child is new to climbing or already confident on the wall, this program offers an engaging mix of skill-building, movement, and fun.
Each Tuesday (excluding 10/7), students will be picked up from Compass Montessori in our 15-passenger van and transported to the CMC, where they’ll learn climbing techniques, safety skills, and belaying through hands-on instruction and games.
But that’s not all—this fall's program also includes an exciting wilderness survival curriculum! In addition to climbing, students will explore essential outdoor skills like building shelters, reading maps and compasses, learning the 10 Essentials, Leave No Trace principles, fire safety, and basic first aid—all designed to build confidence and resilience both on and off the wall.
With a focus on confidence, coordination, and teamwork, students will challenge themselves and support one another—all while having a blast.

How to Register
Click here for a step-by-step guide for registration!
Every registrant will need a CMC membership. If you already have a CMC individual membership and wish to sign up a youth participant, you will need to create a separate guest account with a different email. You can also choose to upgrade your individual membership to a family membership to be able to register the youth participant on your account and receive the discount.
If you do not have a membership, you can choose to sign up for a free guest membership or pay for a family membership and receive a discount off of camps, events, and afterschool programs. To register, an adult parent/guardian needs to make an account for themselves with their own birthdate and email. Once the adult has a membership with CMC, they will add a youth to their account and complete a youth information form for the youth participating in the program. Once the youth form is completed, you can register the youth participant.
Forms and Paperwork - for the Youth Information form to be complete a document needs to be uploaded for the Health form and the Immunizations form. However, our afterschool programs DO NOT need these forms to participate (only our licensed summer/winter camps). If you have those documents on hand, you are welcome to upload them or you can upload a blank placeholder document so you can complete the registration.
Please reach out to youth@cmc.org with any registration issues.
