Book a Term of NICAS or Fun Clubs

Our termly clubs are simply the best and most enjoyable way for kids aged 5-17 to gain climbing skills and experience. Whether they are learning the basics of climbing or learning advanced climbing technique, these courses will give them the head start they need to become a better and safer climber. 

Book the kids in for a term of climbing!

Our terms usually run from January-March, April-July and September-December. To sign up to our mailing list for priority booking opportunities for next term, please click here.

Fun Clubs

Our fun clubs are for kids aged 5+ and focus on simply having a good fun climbing session week after week whilst also learning some key skills that will allow them to begin the journey to becoming experienced climbers. In order to do this, our instructors really focusing on building confidence in their younger climbers, allowing them to excel in the future.

NICAS

Alternatively, NICAS (National Indoor Climbing Award Scheme) courses begin at age 7, and participants will follow a nationally recognised syllabus working towards each of the 5 levels of the scheme. Upon completion of each level, participants will receive a certificate and begin working towards the next level.   

 

For all of our kids clubs, all essential safety equipment is provided with extra non-essential bits and bobs that you can hire (such as climbing shoes or chalk bags). 

I'm new to NICAS, what can I expect?

Almost everyone new to NICAS will start at Level 1 and work their way up through the levels until they complete the scheme at Level 5. Climbers will begin with the very basics, learning how to put on their own harnesses and helmets and setting up their ropes so they can be ready to climb. The instructor will teach them all of the skills set out in a handy checklist in their logbooks, and tick those off once they have been completed, so you can easily follow along with your child’s progress.  

Participants will be grouped together with others also at a similar climbing level. We strive to ensure that you’ll have the same instructor for the entire term, which means the group really get to know each other and means that it’s a great way for kids to make new friends.

All essential kit is provided each week, but as your child moves up the ranks, you’ll need to look into buying them some climbing shoes (or you can hire them each week from reception). If you do have any questions or concerns, please do come in to have a chat, or email us at climb@whitespiderclimbing.com
