They are similar to our regular NICAS sessions but at a more convenient time for home education needs The National Indoor Climbing Award Schemes (NICAS) have been developed to help everyone enjoy the best start in climbing. Wild Climbers 4-7yrs NICAS Wild Climbers offers climbing skills for all, from age 4 to 6. It's a fun, game orientated programme that aims to introduce climbers safely into the indoor climbing environment, developing their awareness of climbing movements, improving confidence and creating a grassroots pathway into additional climbing activities. NICAS Wild Climbers meets the 3 key learning areas of the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage), which is the precursor to Key Stage 1 and includes Communication, Physical Development, and Social & Emotional Development. NICAS Climbing 8-17yrs NICAS Climbing allows candidates to learn about safety, equipment, training and progression and the many other positive aspects of becoming a climber. Combine this with life skills – trust, communication, teamwork, self-confidence, awareness, risk management and understanding limitations – and it quickly becomes clear why climbing is an amazing sport. A huge amount of learning and development takes place at the climbing wall. With a nationally recognised syllabus to follow, certificates for achievement, and a structured pathway, children can keep progressing through the NICAS schemes while having a great time along the way.
