My 5 year old is constantly climbing on his uncles and aunts, or jumping on them.
Some are ok with it and think it is cute, and some find it annoying.
I keep trying to force a boundary like before we see them I say- we can sit next to xyz, we can give xyz a hug but if we jump or climb on them, it hurts cuz we aren't a baby anymore.
But of course when we get there, he is climbing and jumping all over their laps.
Any advice?

I would keep reinforcing how you’re all so proud of how grown up he is. Explain again how big kids give hugs but he’s getting so grown up that it hurts if he climbs on the people who love him. Does he need extra reassurance and love? Would he benefit from a stuffed animal that he could hold and hug?

How is he at home? Does he climb/ jump around furniture too?
I'm wondering if there is a sensory seeking aspect here, I'm addition to being super excited to see his aunts and uncles.
Also, What are you doing to enforce the boundary? He needs to be redirected in the moment.
