Benefits of Climbing
Climbing can help develop communication, coordination, muscle strength, balance, and problem-solving, with the added excitement of being up high.
New experiences keep the brain at its best, providing it with new information to organise and make sense of, and learning new skills.
Physical and cognitive effects that can benefit from climbing include muscle spasticity; reduced endurance; concentration; memory; perceptions and judgement. Behavioral effect such as fatigue, anxiety, depression, agitation, and an inability to cope can all be improved.
Family Tasters Sessions
Family taster sessions are a pathway to discovering that climbing is within the realms of everyone’s ability and focus on the fun activity of climbing and the safety skills involved.
The 1.5 hour session is ideal for participants and their family/carer/guardian to do together and climb as a group.
Please contact the centre to discuss your child or young person's needs and the most appropriate option.
