The benefits of rock climbing for children include the development of teamwork, self confidence, trust, motivation and increased levels of fitness. Rock climbing enables children to cope with fear and stress, and encourages both self-reliance and responsibility for others.
Rock and Ice will provide instruction for any size of group from individual one-to-one sessions, to larger parties.
Rock and Ice really do welcome all age groups on our courses.You may be surprised to hear that 3yr old children have climbed 150' rock climbs sucessfully under our instruction. If your kids want to climb we will help facilitate it.
We
also offer discounts to help parents introduce their children to outdoor
activities.
We offer packages that introduce parents to become safe at setting up climbs
outdoors.
Our aim is to pass over all the safety skills that will then allow your
family to go out climbing safely without the need to pay for an instructor.
Just phone 0800 6126603 for more info.
Rock
and Ice are AALA
registered (see right) we recommend a parent or guardian comes along too
as support whenever possible.
Please note we are NOT a residential outdoor centre!

Accommodation is usually in B&B so not always suitable for minors to
be left unattended. The courses and activities are great for family groups
looking for a break. We are based in Ashbourne, Derbyshire and have an abundance
of other activities available nearby such as Alton Towers, Carsington water
sports, mountain biking, paintball to name just a few.
All
specialist rock climbing equipment is provided by Rock and Ice
for the activities. We also have access to some of the easiest outdoor climbing
for small persons, as you can see on the left the rock is abundant with
good hand and footholds and not too intimidating.
We only employ vetted and qualified NGB award holding staff (MIA
or SPA)
Childrens
parties utilising our activities are also available on request.
