Kids Info. 

There are lots of ways kids can climb with us. We have general climbing sessions, where they will need to be supervised by an adult, more structured instructed sessions, regular clubs and more.

Whichever you choose, it’s important all kids are booked in advanced for their session.

Getting Started

Just like with bouldering as an adult, you and your child do not need any prior bouldering experience to give it a go and get started. Simply book in and turn up! On arrival for your first session you will be required to watch a short safety video and sign an Acknowledgment Of Risk form for each person supervising and climbing (this can also be completed ahead of time using the links above and below), after which you are free to enjoy your session.

Kids Climbing Options

  • General Climbing

    You are welcome to supervise your kids yourself on a general climbing session.

    For this you will need to fill out an Acknowledgement Of Risk form for each supervisor and climber and have read our supervising information. All this, along with the booking link and information on the supervisor to child rations allowed, is on our general climbing page linked below.

    You will need to pre-book your child every time you wish to bring them climbing.

  • Boulder Fun

    Our Boulder Fun sessions are great, one off, hour sessions where an instructor will guide the group through the basics of bouldering, helping build their confidence whilst having fun.

    Please note, these sessions only run outside of term time.

  • Kids Clubs

    If you are looking for regular sessions to help release your child’s potential, our clubs are the perfect place.

    Our Kids clubs are a social hub for those aged 4 and upwards in which to learn the wonders of bouldering, make friends and enjoy everything that the sport has to offer.

    We pride ourselves on having one of the best kids clubs offerings and run our clubs every day of the week. This includes our Home Ed clubs too!

    Kids Clubs

  • Youth 14 - 17 yrs

    For those aged 14 to 17 there are a few options available, including the possibility to climb without supervision or instruction.

    Check out our 14 - 17 years page for more information.
