Learn the ropes from the Pros!
Give your kids climbing skills for life.
Climbing is a great way to improve courage and coordination while getting active. With our Kids Learn To Climb Holiday Workshop, children of all ages can learn to climb like a pro in a fun and safe environment. Lessons focus on climbing technique and skills developed through fun games and activities. This is an intense 4 hour workshop with vigorous exercise and lots of content to learn.
Who
There is no age restriction to climb; it all depends on the individual and their comfort with heights and their ability to get up the wall. We have harnesses to fit even the smallest of children. Participants under 12 years old must have an adult present to hold the ropes for them.
When
The workshop is 4 hours. Current availability is Sep 28 and Oct 5 from 12:30pm to 4:30pm.
Price
$89 for a 4 Hour Workshop in 1:10 coach ratio to students. Price includes harness, shoe and chalk bag hires and a voucher to bring a friend free in the future.

Active Kids FAQ’s
What is the Active Kids Program?
The Active Kids Voucher Program is a NSW Government initiative to help kids get active.
Who can apply for Vouchers?
Parents, guardians and carers can apply for a vouchers, valued up to $100 (2 x $50 vouchers) per calendar year for each student enrolled in school.
When can the vouchers be used?
The vouchers can be used at any time during the calendar year it was issued, however only one $50 voucher can be used during one transaction (meaning you can’t use both vouchers totaling $100 at once for a single transaction).
This is the case to encourage activity all year round (eg. one in summer, one in winter) or provide them the opportunity to try a different activity.
