The 6-week NICAS Wild Climbers Course is designed for young climbers, aged 3 and up, to introduce them to indoor climbing in a fun, supportive, and engaging way. The course provides a structured, game-based programme aimed at building climbing skills and confidence, while also paving the way for future climbing activities.
Each session of the 6-week course is designed to help young climbers gradually develop their skills in a safe and fun environment. The course uses games and interactive activities to teach core climbing movements, build confidence, and improve balance.
