Climbing fun for little ones and their grown-ups

TINY ACADEMY

Tiny Academy is a relaxed and informal bouldering session for parents, carers and children under 5. Whether you’re a regular climber or new to the sport (no prior experience required) this is a great way to get active while introducing little ones to climbing in a fun and supportive environment.

This isn’t an instructed session, but a friendly team member will be on hand to help things run smoothly. They can also assist with childcare, so parents can take turns climbing.

Many of our Tiny Academy parents have met great friends here, finding a supportive space to share the joys and challenges of early parenthood.

Climbing is instinctive for young children, and Tiny Academy lets them explore safely at their own pace. Whether they’re clambering on the mats, taking their first climbing steps, or just soaking up the energy, this session encourages confidence, movement, and fun.

Booking tips: If it's your first time at Tiny Academy, please come early to go through supervision and forms with staff. If you are bringing more than 1 adult and 2 children you may be asked to complete multiple forms.

Please note: Parents remain responsible for their children at all times.

You must include all participants (adults and children) in your booking.

TCA runs a range of social sessions.

At their heart, our socials are about meeting other climbers and building connections within our friendly community. They're a relaxed, welcoming way to climb alongside other people, share routes and problems, and get to know the wider TCA community.

Some sessions are instructed, some aren't and a few are aimed at specific groups within the community.

For full details of what's on at each centre — including the type of climbing, dates, times, and who each session is for — visit theclimbingacademy.com/clubs.
