What is kids club?
Kids club is a weekly group for young people to attend in order to improve fitness, strength, courage, communication skills, and rock climbing skills.
Kids warm-up and stretch as a group, learn to safely set up their own harnesses, do lots of climbing, and play climbing games with an emphasis on developing technique and inspiring advanced climbing.
The older group (6-8pm) are taught how, and allowed to belay each other so parents can choose to stay or leave. When deemed competent, a Belay License is awarded. The younger group (4-5pm) however, can have members as young as 6 years old and we need parents to stay and belay as there aren't enough instructors to belay all the kids. Parents from previous groups have said that it is a great way to build trust between themselves and their child(ren) and it is great being able to encourage and congratulate them with each success. The beanbags are also popular after a day at work!
Trips to competitions are an option. Outdoor trips are sometimes organised as well.

Junior Kids Club is designed for primary school aged childre who meet every Wednesday during the school term at 4pm for one hour.
