Summer Holiday Classes
NICAS
bouldering classes
NICAS Intro (For ages between 7-14 years)
The introduction sessions are perfect for the youngster that has not climbed before and would like to work through a structured lesson, 2 hours per day for a week. They will learn essential safety for climbing and basic technique. At the start of the week will be issued with a NICAS book to track progress and the instructor will be aiming to have them complete Level1 by the last session (as long as they have attended all 5 sessions and have shown progress), so they will be leaving with a certificate to show they successfully completed the level.
​
This is booked as a block i.e 5days, 2 hours per day
Sessions are split by ages i.e. 7-9 years, 10-14 years
NICAS Development (For ages between 7-14 years)
This session is aimed at children that have previously completed NIBAS levels 1 and are working through Levels 2 & 3 onwards. They will be working on advanced climbing technique and movement skills. The instructor will aim to have them progress through the level they are currently on and potentially complete the level leaving with a certificate and progressing to the next level.

Fun and exciting opportunity for families to try climbing, together. This session is for a minimum 1 adult with a maximum of 3 children or 2 adults + 3 children.
Children Taster sessions (6 participants, ages 7-14)
A 60 minute group taster for children aged 7-14 years. This is an opportunity for them to try climbing in a casual environment with other children of a similar age and under the watchful eye of our qualified instructor.
Induction
Adult & Junior
Adult inductions (6 participants, ages 18+)
The induction covers everything we wish we'd been told the first day we went bouldering! Our aim is to take you from newbie to someone who is safe, knows their way around a bouldering wall, has good etiquette, and a good grasp of basic climbing technique. The 60 minute induction breaks down roughly to 30 minutes of safety and learning about the bouldering environment, and 30 minutes of coaching.
Junior 14-17yo Inductions/Assessments
14-17 year olds may become junior members of Eden Rock provided that they can demonstrate safe, responsible use of the bouldering wall. Youngsters in this age range may climb unsupervised at the centre on completion of either a competency assessment. Any youngster seeking to become a junior member must be brought to their assessment session by a parent or guardian.
​
Assessment sessions last approximately 30 minutes and cost £17.50 for an individual, or £25 per person for a 1hr induction.
​
Note - these sessions are an assessment of competence and responsible use of the facilities. Should a youngster not meet the required standard for safety, the instructor will provide guidance on next steps. Please also note that youngsters who gain junior memberships cannot supervise junior climbers or novices, and will have their unsupervised access revoked if they fail at any point to adhere to the conditions of use.
Any youngster seeking to become a junior member must be brought to their assessment/induction session by a parent or guardian.
