Kids Climbing Club at Harrogate Climbing Centre in Yorkshire

Harrogate Climbing Centre runs regular kids clubs. We are Yorkshire’s premier climbing centre and specialise in activities for children and teenagers of all abilities.

The kids’ club sessions introduce children to the basics of climbing indoors and can lead to development as far as international competition through tuition provided by our fully qualified and friendly staff, which include world-cup standard athletes.

Climbing is a great activity for children. It is very effective in developing balance, co-ordination and a sense of adventure. Our state of the art climbing centre provides the perfect environment for children to experience and develop their rock climbing in the safest and most enjoyable way possible.

The kids clubs at Harrogate Climbing Centre are divided into age related groups each with their own designated instructors, and tailor activities to suit:

Kids Clubs at HCCLittle Monkeys Climbing Club – Ages 5 & 6

Rock-Its Climbing Club – Ages 7 to 10

Hang Time Climbing Club- Ages 11 to 17

Harrogate Climbing Centre kids’ clubs are separated into casual and block sessions. Our block sessions allow climbers to work towards NICAS qualifications, a nationally recognised acreditation, in a fun environment. Our casual sessions are aimed at kids that can’t commit to a set number of weeks but still want to experience the fun and challenge of climbing.
