The course provides a structured, game-based programme aimed at building climbing skills and confidence, while also paving the way for future climbing activities.
Each session of the 6-week course is designed to help young climbers gradually develop their skills in a safe and fun environment. The course uses games and interactive activities to teach core climbing movements, build confidence, and improve balance.
