Toddler Climbing / Little Climbers

This unique programme uses creative play to engage your little climber. Using methods that are known to aid in physical development as well as helping to build their fine motor skills, we build in educational games also. Of course they don't feel like they are learning, the session is lots of fun and each individual has the space to develop at their own pace. There is no minimum age to start, but to get the most out of the main climbing activity we advise that they are confidently standing and walking. We now offer crawlers to the mix. There is no minimum age to start, we are finding that even babies who are pulling themselves to standing can benefit from these sessions, our centre offers a unique space to explore.

We offer a split pricing structure to accommodate the level of participation that your child may have, determined by crawlers to walking confidently, prices given below.

Home Education Climbing Groups

We work in partnership with Plant Home Education Support providing climbing experiences for children from 5 years - 17 years of age.

The range of sessions focus on physical development and working in partnership with others. All sessions are led by an instructor and follow a basic structure which allows each individual to develop at their own pace.

“Thank you SO MUCH for all the guidance you’ve given Sofia these past few months! It hasn’t even been a full year and yet the change in her is incredible! Firmly believe her confidence soaring is due to her climbing!” Parent from Plant Climbing

The groups are managed externally to the Boathouse Climbing Centre, so please use the following Facebook link to request to join and find out more information on prices and session times.
