Things parents are saying:
“I appreciated the positive encouragement and teaching. This is something Brett would set his clock for... it was fun to see him so enthused!”
“Thank you for your hard work and making this class run so fluid and understandable for all levels.”
“My boys have completely changed from these classes. They seem to see everything in a more logical and organized way. It's like chess has unlocked some sort of "order" in their thinking. They look forward, plan ahead and strategize through their days like they didn't used to. I could go on and on!”
“This is the first online class ever, that Felix enjoys. You probably don’t realise what a big compliment this is.”

Aimed towards the first-timer, this 2 hour session allows participants to learn about the sport of climbing through hands-on (and feet-on) skills.
This means instruction on putting on an approved climbing harness, learning how to belay (manage the ropes) and a technique tip or two. This session is designed primarily to give your group a lot of time for climbing. Instructors are there to help guide you up the walls and to make certain that you enjoy a secure and fun filled climbing class. This course includes all the necessary equipment and instructors to facilitate your visit.
