Chimera offer a range of lessons for children who want to learn more about climbing. We have term-time classes, which are divided into three categories:
By signing your child up to a full term, they are able to learn and practice their skills in a controlled environment under the guidance of a qualified instructor. At Chimera we work though the ‘NIBAS’ programme (National Indoor Bouldering Award Scheme), meaning your child has the opportunity to work towards certificates and could even be signed off to climb without supervision both at our walls and others that participate in the NIBAS programme.
In the summer term, Chimera run clubs outdoors on the local sandstone - a great introduction into the world of climbing on real rock.
Clubs are priced at £14 per session indoors, which covers entrance, shoe hire and instruction. Classes are capped at 8 climbers. Outdoor costs vary.
To apply for a place in a club or to learn more please email: info@chimeraclimbing.com
If you are looking for something, fun, energetic and rewarding for your children to do during the school holidays, bring them along to a holiday club!
We run sessions indoor and out through the school holidays, and tailor the sessions to suit - so whether your child is trying climbing for the first time, or getting some extra practice in, these clubs are suitable for all.
