Kids Climbing at Climb Newcastle
Climb Newcastle is one of the only climbing walls in the UK to have a dedicated kids area, and implementing fun climbing lessons and developing young climbers is one of our core principles at the centre.
Our supervised sessions known as Rock Stars are incredibly popular, they are the starting point for youngsters who have never climbed before. However we also run group sessions for schools, scout groups and the like for all abilities, and a series of structured courses known as the Junior Academy that are producing some very talented climbers in the north east.
Then there are our birthday parties, there's nothing better for celebrating a birthday than our fun themed climbing sessions.
Check out the pages below for more info on each session and if you do require any more info or just want to have a chat about our kids sessions you can get in touch
