Climbing Crash Course
Children aged 10–17 will build their climbing confidence on our 12m climbing wall in this fun, intensive 4-day course (3 hours per day)
They’ll learn how to fit a harness, tie knots and climb safely on roped walls, with all equipment provided. Led by our expert instructors, sessions also include balance and movement games to improve technique, confidence and social skills in a safe climbing wall environment.
Age Group
10 - 17 year olds
Duration
3 hours per day

Lead Falling Level 4+ Only
At higher levels of NICAS, children are introduced to lead climbing falls in a controlled and safe way. This only happens once they have built the skills, awareness, and confidence needed at Level 4 and above. Learning how to fall safely helps young climbers stay calm, trust the equipment, and develop good habits for more advanced climbing—always under close supervision from qualified instructors.

Dynamic Movement
Dynamic movement is when children use quick, controlled bursts of energy to reach the next hold while climbing. NICAS introduces this skill gradually, helping young climbers learn how to move with confidence, coordination, and safety. It’s a fun way for them to explore their agility, react to the wall, and enjoy a more playful style of climbing as they develop. For children currently working at NICAS Level 2–4 only.
