About Windy City Ninjas

Our mission is to help kids overcome, persevere and achieve what they didn’t know was possible…and to have that degree of fulfillment that we all know is so special! That is our brand of fun! We cater to adults also for sure, but our primary focus will be kids with structured, progressive classes to make them achieve what they didn’t think possible. Our measure of success is the pride and excitement worn on the faces of these children as they conquer!  We are going to make this a sustainable sport!

Of course, birthday parties and open gym time go hand in hand with our structured classes. Whether a first timer or a regular – kids will enjoy themselves as they climb and achieve in a celebratory environment with their friends.
