Weekly classes for Kids.
We run weekly instructed kids sessions on subscription. They follow the NICAS bouldering award scheme so that as the kids improve they progress through the awards.
We offer a range of kids classes for all abilities and ages from 5 to 18 years old. These classes are 1 hour every week.
Pebbles Class
Age 5-7 years old
These classes focus on developing a child’s balance and coordination through climbing games and activity. We will introduce a basic understanding of safety, structure and terminology.
Foundation Class
Age 7-11
From age 7 we use a national Award scheme called NICAS Bouldering. A child’s progress is tracked using a logbook and 5 levels of achievement to mark their knowledge and experience. At this age the focus is on safety, technique, and strategy.
Development
Age 11 – 18
At this age range students will continue to work on their climbing foundations and start to look at the bigger picture. The instructor will help them to analyse their strengths and weaknesses and plan progression over an extended period of time.
