At Boulderworld we offer various kids classes to suit all ability levels, from complete beginners to national competitors.

First Time? Get signed up for a taster / intro session and get started with confidence.

For regular weekend taster sessions all U12’s must be accompanied by an adult … the adult does not need to climb but will attend the duration of the taster session to learn how to safely supervise while in the centre

Some specific U18 tasters and summer camps are fully supervised and designed to be a ‘drop off’ session. You are obviously more than welcome to watch and remain in the centre!

If in doubt … ask before booking.

Spider Monkey’s (Ages 3 – 6 years)

Our spider monkeys class is for the youngest climbers in the centre. This class focuses on teaching kids the fundamentals of climbing in exciting ways, through games and challenges. Perfect for active kids who want to take their first steps into climbing in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

Academy Coaching (Ages 7- 17 Years)

Our academy classes are well suited for a wide range of climbers, whether they are bouldering for the first time or have been climbing for several years. The focus of this class is on learning and developing climbing and social skills through activities with other climbers of the same age, to encourage kids to become safe and independent members of our centre. 

Academy Training (Ages 7- 17 Years)

This is for current members of the academy (We would recommend having climbed for at least a month before attending) that would like to push themselves a little more physically each session. These sessions will be more ‘training based’ incorporating more sets, reps and all things tiring! 

Youth Squad (Ages 7- 17 Years)

This class is ideal for motivated young climbers who want to improve in competition climbing, outdoor climbing or simply progress up through the grades within the centre. Climbers will be encouraged to work with other squad members during training sessions, in order to develop good climbing technique and a more thoughtful and tactics based approach to their climbing.

All members of the Academy are eligible to attend the Squad Sessions.
