Bouldering Sessions for Schools

Climbing, Bouldering and Ninja-ing are the perfect adventure activity to capture a group’s interest whilst also raising self-esteem, building confidence and developing problem-solving skills.

At Flashpoint Swindon, we offer a wide range of bouldering walls to challenge and engage children of all ages and abilities along with the help of our fantastic coaching team. Bouldering can also offer a stimulating alternative to conventional school sports as well as helping to fulfil National Curriculum requirements.

At Freedog Swindon (located in the same building) we offer Freedog Arena and Ninja course adventures, as well as an incredible Clip ‘N Climb Facility.

These sessions are for a minimum of 6 participants and maximum of 24 participants. However, further options may be available on enquiry. Groups are run at a ratio of 1:6.

Check out our different packages below then call us on 01793 251555 or email head.coach@freedogswindon.com to discuss your individual needs and to book.

This is a single session over in our Clip ‘n Climb facility. Clip ‘n Climb is a great way to introduce kids to climbing, allowing them to explore our fun and challenging walls whilst in a harness and secured to an auto belay line.

Explore

Explore our bouldering walls in an intro-style session designed to both inspire and challenge. Over the course of an hour, one of our experienced coaches will take you through the basics of bouldering, including safety and basic techniques. 

Our ‘Explore’ package can either be booked as a single session or a 6-week block, with either the same or different participants each week.

The NICAS Bouldering scheme can be used to compliment the GCSE curriculum for Edexcel. Over a minimum of 12-18 sessions, our qualified instructors will teach NICAS Bouldering Level 1 & 2, after which pupils should be well prepared for their GCSE. 

For more information on the NICAS Bouldering scheme, check out their website.

It doesn’t matter if your group isn’t working towards their GCSEs, this package will take participants through all of the skills required to be a competent boulderer.

 

Please note the same children must attend each week for this package. Alternative arrangements may be made upon enquiry.
