Manchester Kids Climbing Clubs

kidsManchester Climbing Centre has lots on offer to Manchester kids all year round! NICAS (National Indoor Climbing Achievement Scheme) courses are give you the chance to gain certificates in a series of fun sessions. These courses coincide as much as possible with school terms and holidays. We believe this structured approach enables us to offer a fulfilling and productive session while still keeping a fun and light-hearted approach.

Alongside these courses, Manchester Climbing Centre also run some casual kids’ sessions. These cater for those that are unable to commit to a course, don’t focus on the NICAS scheme, but they are a great way to get climbing in a fun environment. All courses or casual sessions require pre-booking due to limited places
