CLIMBING SESSIONS AND ACTIVITY DAYS FOR UNDER 18S !
Options for how to get your children climbing and information about our outdoor activities.
Climbing available for 4 years+
INDOOR CLIMBING OPTIONS
Our new beginners area is available for children ages 4+ under parent supervision
This area contains bouldering, auto belays, and roped walls specifically set for children. To use this area an adult will need to be signed off to use either the bouldering, auto belays or ropes.
For parents without any climbing experience, or who have only ever watched the children’s area video, please head to our ADULT COURSES. As you will need to complete a boulder induction before supervising your child.
Supervision rules:
- An adult can supervise up to 1 child in this section if they are aged 4-6.
- An adult can supervise up to 2 children if they are both 7 years+.
If you have one child over 7 and one under, option 1 supervision rules apply.
We have split our group sessions into 2 different age groups:
5-8 years – Leaping lizards
9-13 years – Climbing Cats
All sessions are in our climbing wall, but are tailored to the age group! They start with a warm up and then head to the roped walls for the majority of the session. For availability please head to the CHILDREN’S ACTIVITES booking page!
These private sessions can be tailored to your needs, whether it’s for a complete beginner, or someone with lots of experience who just needs to be supervised by an instructor. It is your private session, so you can book it for any age* and any mix of adults and children**
*Our private sessions can be run for ages 4years+
**Groups are limited to a max of 6 participants
For availability please head to the CHILDREN’S ACTIVITES booking page and click on ‘private sessions’.
