Climbing is a brilliant way for children to build confidence, move, play and learn new skills. Whether you’re coming as a family or joining an instructor-led session, start by choosing the right option for your child.

Climbing with your family

Children’s ages, adult supervision requirements and permissions vary by venue and session type. Please check the specific rules for your chosen gym before arriving.

Kids’ climbing programmes

Rockers Club offers age-appropriate instructor-led climbing sessions. NICAS is a structured programme for young climbers developing their skills. Availability, ages and timetables depend on the gym and term.
