Our Summer Day Camps are 5.5 hours of all things climbing. The morning includes bouldering, high roped walls, challenges on our fun walls and climbing games. After lunch we'll show you some climbing skills such as knot tying and how to keep someone safe on the wall with the rope system.

Learn the Ropes Course £75 (14 – 17yrs) -

2 x 2 hours - Attendees must be able to attend both dates.

Bouldering is the most accessible form of climbing that anyone can try. This session is ideal for first time boulderers or those looking for some instruction before booking a Youth Climbing Assessment. You will learn:

Safe bouldering practice
Safer falling
Grades
Warming up/injury prevention
How to make the most of the area

Climbers aged 14 & 15 are required to pass a Youth Climbing Assessment (Bouldering) before climbing unsupervised at the centre. Assessments can be booked separately and are not included in this session.

☀ Meet The Team ☀ : "Hey I'm Joe and I've been working as an instructor at High Sports Brighton for about three months.

After doing NICAS when I was younger and taking a break, I came back to climbing about 2 and a half years ago and absolutely fell in love with the sport.

My favourite kind of climbing is Trad but as long as my hands are on a rock and I'm feeling a bit scared, I'm a happy guy.

If I was to be a climbing hold I would be a crack because why would you want to be anything else?"

Check out July's setting schedule. Please note the usual setting days have changed just for the week starting Monday 6th to accommodate the Volume 1 Climbing Volapalooza (check out their page for info on the event!).

For that week only the Right Wall boulder set will be on the Monday 6th and the roped lines 14, 15, 16 and 17 will be set on the Tuesday7th and Wednesday 8th. All other weeks will remain the same as usual with the boulder set on the Friday and roped lines Wednesday Thursday.

Due to it’s popularity we’ve added an additional Home Ed climbing session for 8 to 14 year olds on Friday afternoons:

Fridays - 2:15 to 3:45 pm - 8 to 15 years

The sessions start next week on Friday 3rd July.

If you are interested in booking the session follow the link below to our Home Ed webpage.

Our Home Ed NICAS (National Indoor Climbing Award Scheme) clubs are structured, weekly lessons for ages 4+ aimed at developing climbers’ skills & techniques in a fun, social & safe environment and are a great addition to any child’s curriculum!

We’re thrilled to be Official Partners of , celebrating the importance of for all: to help everyone enjoy sport and physical activity.

We all remember that coach - the one who made it fun.
The person who helped us fall in love with the sport at the same time as helping us safely learn important skills.

Help us celebrate those people who bring joy, creativity and connection to every session by commenting your favourite interaction with a coach, instructor or route setter (it doesn't have to be limited to climbing!). Bonus points if it was a game!

We firmly believe play isn't just for kids and think climbing lends itself perfectly to creating fun challenges and games (Volapalooza anyone?). So and share the joy by letting us know.

Also, if you're a coach with a game your participants always enjoy, or, if you have an idea for a great climbing game or a firm favourite you already use, let us know! At the end of the week, UK Coaching will be collating the best ideas and games into a Playbook, as a practical resource that can be shared to bring more play into coaching sessions for people across the UK.

🏳️‍🌈Happy Pride month! 🏳️‍🌈 What better time to highlight our amazing LGBTQ+ social group who run monthly social climbs followed by a trip to the local pub if you're up for it after!

A great group in a great community, join us for this month's meet up Tuesday 23rd June, 18:30 to 20:30.
