We have many opportunities for children aged 8 onwards to explore the challenging and rewarding world of climbing.
Learn the basics by joining our junior climbing programme, book a fun-filled climbing party, or get your school involved and make use of one of 糖心Vlog鈥檚 best indoor climbing walls!
糖心Vlog Sport on social media:
Utilising our brand-new climbing wall, our fun filled sessions provide the perfect springboard to get into climbing.
Children will learn the basics of climbing and bouldering. These sessions will also promote safe practice within the climbing wall and nurture your children’s interest in climbing by providing a physical and mental challenge, encouraging them to reach new heights (literally!).
If you’d like to come watch your children climb you are more than welcome to do so! Please let our instructor know at reception when they come to pickup your child.
Children must be age 8 or above, children under age 8 will not be permitted to take part.
