GROUPS & SCHOOLS

At Avertical World, we have been running sessions for both schools and youth groups, such as Scouts and Guides, since our inception in 2003. Climbing is an exciting activity offering lots of physical and mental challenges for individuals and groups of all abilities. Development of agility, balance and coordination are key to the physical side of learning to climb. In addition communication, team work, trust and awareness of risk are also improved.

Our staff regularly run sessions for individuals and groups (both small and large), including for those with additional needs. If this all sounds appealing, contact us to discuss your groups needs and get booked in. 

Facilities

We have a range of bouldering and roped routes to suit all abilities of climber. There is also a large seating gallery suitable for classroom sessions or refreshments.

Youth Groups

A climbing taster is an ideal session for a Scout, Guide or other youth group session. This could be for a Christmas party or a summer trip out. We can accommodate up to 24 within the centre. Typically we would include roped climbing, auto belays and bouldering to suit your needs.

Schools

A climbing taster makes for an ideal school activity, potentially as an end of term rewards session or PE lesson changeup. We can accommodate up to 24 within the centre. Typically we would include roped climbing, auto belays and bouldering to suit your needs.

For regular groups we offer the opportunity to develop an active interest in climbing through the National Indoor Climbing Award Scheme (NICAS). This is a fun and structured approach to learning to climb. Five achievement levels, supported by a logbook and certificates, advances the participant from complete novice through to experienced climber. Participants in the scheme can continue to progress through the NICAS levels outside of school organised sessions by joining one of our Dundee Dynos groups. More info on NICAS can be found on the website; www.nicas.co.uk.

Pricing

Our basic pricing for a 1 hour session is advertised on our youth sessions page and includes necessary equipment, instruction and vat. We are happy to discuss pricing with regular or repeat groups for extra value. We can also offer a variety of payment and invoicing options to suit.
