Since it opened In September last year, 670 children have participated through schools and youth groups.
But after February 21, the program will be available on a first come, first serve basis.
Sky Climbers operations consultant Nick Sagar said children who have already climbed the wall are welcome to climb again and so are parents.
Sagar encouraged schools to sign up: "We want to reach out to more schools. It's free and they just need to transport the kids to us."
The program is currently open from 10am-6pm, Monday – Saturday. It is located on the old Club Med grounds on Paradise Island. Persons under 14 years old must be accompanied by a parent.
Funding for Sky Climbers is provided by the Butch Kerzner Foundation. Rock climbing was a passion of Kerzner's who learned from Sagar.
Mr Kerzner's widow, Vanessa, wanted young people to have access to the training.
Sagar had designed personalized climbing walls in the former Atlantis executive's home.
