NICAS: Drop-in sessions are a great way to keep up your bouldering during the school holidays! Kids will be in a small group with a coach who will guide the group through NICAS skills and techniques that can be used on and off the wall. Climbing is fantastic for agility, balance and coordination skills, as well as confidence and problem-solving abilities! Many kids who boulder learn abilities for life and continue the sport into adulthood!
This session runs only during school holidays. To participate, you must already be enrolled in our Kids Clubs.
The session is made up of warm-up games, skills coaching and open climbing in our world-class bouldering wall.
We offer taster sessions to give climbing a go for first-time climbers.
The price includes gear hire but not the log-book or enrolment in the NICAS Bouldering scheme. The log-book and NICAS Bouldering enrolment come free with any Kids Club sign up.
