The new school year is here, and there’s no better way to keep young minds and bodies active than by climbing! At Highball Climbing Centre in Norwich, we offer a variety of fun and engaging climbing options for children of all ages and abilities. Whether your child is a total beginner or an aspiring pro, we have the perfect session to keep them climbing high, building confidence, and having fun.
Here’s a rundown of all the exciting climbing opportunities available for young people this school year!
Does your child love climbing, but prefers to stay closer to the ground? Our After School Bouldering Club is an ideal option for young adventurers aged 8 to 13. This instructor-led, relaxed session focuses purely on bouldering—no ropes or harnesses needed! Kids will learn to climb back down after reaching the top, developing essential skills in a fun and supportive environment.

This club is perfect for children who want to challenge themselves, improve their climbing technique, and enjoy a great workout—all while making new friends.
For the younger climbers who just want to have fun, our Highball Play sessions are a fantastic option! These drop-in sessions are perfect for kids aged 6 to 10 who are keen to get on the wall without any commitment. The session begins with some playful warm-up games, followed by supervised climbing with safety harnesses. It’s all about having a great time while seeing how high they can go!
