CLYMB Yas Island, in collaboration with Active Abu Dhabi, has unveiled Junior Climbers, a complimentary five-day climbing initiative designed to engage young residents aged 12 to 16 in physical activity. The program, scheduled from July 27 to August 21, 2026, will accommodate 60 participants in its first edition, offering a structured curriculum focused on building confidence, resilience, and foundational climbing techniques.
Delivered by certified instructors, the program will unfold over four weekly sessions, each limited to 12 to 15 participants. The curriculum covers climbing fundamentals, safety protocols, and movement and problem-solving skills. The experience culminates in a final climbing challenge that celebrates each participant's progress and achievements.
Strategic Partnership for Youth Engagement
Junior Climbers is part of a broader series of initiatives by Active Abu Dhabi aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles among less physically active youth. By offering the program at no cost, organizers seek to eliminate barriers to participation and inspire more young people to discover the benefits of climbing. This aligns with Abu Dhabi's broader tourism and wellness strategy, which includes attractions like Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi and other Yas Island offerings.
The initiative also complements other local efforts to enhance community well-being, such as Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi's summer dining and wellness packages, which target both residents and visitors. For travel professionals, this program underscores the growing trend of integrating wellness and adventure into destination marketing, particularly for family-oriented travel.
Registration operates on a first-come, first-served basis, with sessions scheduled as follows: July 27–31, August 3–7, and August 10–14 for boys, and August 17–21 for girls. Interested parties can register via the Active Abu Dhabi website.
