School's Package

Work in education?

Wild Climbers is an ideal climbing skills program for kids aged 3 to 6 years. Our fun and game-oriented approach ensures that young climbers are safely introduced to the indoor climbing environment. The program focuses on developing their awareness of climbing movements, boosting confidence, and creating a foundation for further climbing activities. Our program is inclusive and accessible, aligning with the 3 key learning areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). We welcome all participants, including climbers with additional needs, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to enjoy and benefit from climbing.

NICAS climbing sessions cater to kids aged 7 to 16 years. These sessions cover all aspects of climbing, such as footwork, static and dynamic movement, balance, flow, and technical skills. Our pre-planned sessions also teach climbing etiquette and safety. During these lessons students attain NIC Bouldering, a nationally recognised qualification. NIC Bouldering promotes good practice and offers pathways for young climbers to advance into competition, coaching, outdoor climbing, or independent social climbing with friends and family.
