WILD CLIMBERS
NICAS Wild Climbers offers climbing skills for all, from age 4 and upwards. It’s a fun, game-orientated program that aims to introduce young children safely into the indoor climbing environment, developing their awareness of climbing movements, improving confidence, and creating a grassroots pathway into additional climbing activities.
The sessions meet the 3 key learning areas of the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) which is the precursor to Key Stage 1 and includes Communication, Physical Development, and Social / Emotional Development. Your child’s progress will be tracked through the resources and stickers for participants.
Additionally, the session resources encourage inclusivity whilst also allowing the skill areas to be individualised when setting personal goals.

Classes are £10 for one child per session.
