Climbing Camps for Young People

Sport Lancaster’s Half Term Climbing Camps are aimed at children and young people looking to improve their climbing ability and make new friends over the school holidays.

The Climbing Camps are split into sessions by different age groups, and the tutoring is tailored to the needs and abilities of each participant, as follows:

• 7-9 years: 22 or 26 October, 9am-12pm
• 10-13 years: 24 October, 9am-12pm
• 14+ years: 25 October, 9am-12pm

Ticket Price: £30 (£50 for two siblings)

Please contact our Climbing Team at climbing@lancaster.ac.uk to enquire about siblings who slightly span over two age groups but would prefer to join a session together. Please note, this isn't always guaranteed.

Each of the Climbing Camps will focus on:

• Equipment
• Essential knots
• Climbing safely
• Belaying
• Team building
• Bouldering
• Climbing games and fun activities

Booking in advance is advised by calling reception 01524 510600.
