Youth Climbing
Climbing allows children to challenge themselves against the climb and their own ability. It builds hand eye coordination, balance, physical development, mathematical problem solving, dexterity and patience. At The Climbing Corner, kids can climb from 7 - 12 years old if supervised by an adult or as part of The Corner Crusaders, who train every Wednesday and Saturday! From the age of 13, kids can climb unsupervised.
Wonderfully we have found that bouldering is a sport almost any child can find a strength in, satisfying the aspiring adventurer within. Climbing indoors in a safe environment not only expresses that climbing urge, it offers great physical exercise and mindful engagement. Flexibility and core strength play a part in the sport too, very similar to gymnastics, yoga and meditation.
Along with great friendships it also develops responsibility and understanding.
Adult Supervision
It is possible for parents/guardians to share the climbing experience with children starting from 7 years old.
For these types of sessions you will be responsible for the children/dependents at all times, but are welcome to join the fun and climb with them! You must have a small amount of previous experience rock climbing and the staff will also provide a brief introduction and instructions regarding the rules and safety regulations before you will be left on your own with your children/dependents to climb. The staff will be available at all times to answer any questions or provide tips or advice.
*Max supervision ratio 1:3
*Each supervising parent must have sufficient previous experience to be eligible.

If they like it and they want to come again you can take out a regular subscription at reception to start your kids out on their climbing journey! This subscription of €49,- a month gives your child unlimited attendance to our weekly climbing school on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and also unlimited entrance throughout the week for their own climbing sessions in general!
Every Thursday from 18:00 - 19:30 there is an additional training for the 'diehards', the extremely motivated kids that want more and tougher training in addition to the regular trainings. You can contact us if you would like more information about this.
Kid's Party!
Would you like something different and challenging for your kid's party? Come bouldering at The Climbing Corner and be active together!
After an introduction from one of our instructors, the kids can work on the different boulder problems themselves, under the supervision of one of us and the parents. There is something to climb for every level, easy to more difficult, so that everyone can reach the top.
After 1 to 1,5 hours the kids can enjoy some lemonade with, of course, a freshly baked cake!
Costs: €15,- per child (from 5 children). This is including hire of climbing shoes and lemonade with cake.
This is what you need: sporty colthing and, if the climbing shoes do not fit, clean sport shoes with light soles.
Kid's parties are possible on weekdays between 12:00 and 16:00
