SCHOOL & YOUTH GROUPS

 

We can run NICAS or one-off sessions for school and youth groups. The NICAS scheme can be used as part of a student’s GCSE qualification and, as climbing increases in popularity, we are seeing more and more school groups bringing their classes to climb.

BENEFITS OF CLIMBING

Climbing offers a unique combination of physical benefits, due to the coordination of multiple muscle groups that are used whilst climbing. 

It also improves your problem-solving skills due to the planning that is involved & challenges that arise during the process of physically climbing. 

In addition to this, evidence shows that climbing can help individuals with mental health conditions. Climbing involves concentration & thought which helps participants build focus, confidence & self-esteem, alleviating the symptoms of some mental health problems.
