Introductory Climbing Experience: As an introduction to indoor climbing. Rock climbing is an excellent activity for children / young people. It provides adventure and challenge at their own level and is accessible to all. Climbing sessions can be adapted for disabled participants and allow a broad mix of abilities to work together.
Climbing Skills Development: To develop skills & techniques. Having experienced an introductory session many groups will want to progress by developing their skills and technique, possible as a step towards awards or assessment, or as part of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme.
Key Skills Development & Team Buidling: Personal and team development through climbing. Sessions can be adapted to focus on specific key skills. Climbing is an excellent vehicle for the development of confidence, responsibility, communication and coordination.

Instructional staff are highly experienced in the management of risk and can help young people develop a more risk aware [rather than risk averse] approach.
