Tiny Climbers Club (2-4 years) (formerly known as Toddler Club)
Our Tiny Climbers sessions have changed!! Where we previously just offered one off drop in sessions, we now offer half term (6-7 week blocks) based clubs. This is because we realised that when the children came in on a weekly basis, they more quickly developed the confidence and all the other benefits of climbing, including improvements in; hand eye co-ordination, core strength and stability, motor planning and more!! These 45 minute sessions are instructor supervised but parents are on hand to support their child and to assist with their child’s progress and enjoy the session with them. One off taster sessions to try our toddler clubs may still be available if there is space on our clubs or if there is space for us to add additional sessions, occasionally on weekends and during the school holidays. If they have older siblings, we usually have an instructor supervised session running at the same time, which they may be able to join. (book using the instructor led session tab).
All clubs, including our toddler club, can be booked at the start of each term but to join during the term, please email info@upclimbing.gg. One off taster sessions can also be booked using the link below.

These are progressive learning sessions and are a great introduction to climbing skills and techniques but also offering fun, a great social experience and camaraderie. This term also includes Themed Sessions (favourite characters or ideas welcome!).
We are now running the Nicas wild climbers sessions.
‘NICAS Wild Climbers offers climbing skills for all, from age 3 and upwards. It’s a fun, game orientated programme that aims to introduce climbers safely into the indoor climbing environment, developing their awareness of climbing movements, improving confidence and creating a grassroots pathway into additional climbing activities. Wild Climbers is a programme that is designed to be inclusive and accessible for all.
NICAS Wild Climbers meets 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.
Additionally, the NICAS Wild Climbers resources encourage inclusivity for all participants, including climbers with additional needs. The programme allows six skill areas to be individualized when setting personal goals.
More information can be found on the Nicas website below.
Our 6/7 years club is adapted for that age group and prepares them with a fun climbing game based approach, with the skills to move onto the Nicas programmes for bouldering and high walls from age 8+.
