CLIMB DOWN

Climbing sessions in Cambridge for Scouts, Guides and Youth Groups

Where climbing centre meets theme park, your group can experience over 20 unique climbing challenges at Clip ’n Climb Cambridge that cater for all abilities and levels of confidence. The Clip ’n Climb experience helps develop life skills, is great exercise, fun and will put a huge smile on the faces of your group.

Private exclusive hire for up to 36 climbers is available Monday to Fridays during school term time. Contact the centre for more details, as well as about availability in school holidays. Find out more below about the climbing session options that we can offer your group.  

New - Youth Group Sleepovers

Check out our new Youth Group sleepovers, launching in the Autumn of 2024.

Benefits

Experienced climbers will be challenged by our harder walls, such as the beanstalk like ‘Triffid’. For less experienced or nervous group members, we have walls that are easier to try at the start, such as the simple shapes and holds of ‘Amazing’. Climbers can go as high as they feel comfortable with. Over the course of the session, their levels of confidence greatly improve.

Indoor climbing has never been easier or safer. Climbers are connected to a safety rope system, called an automatic belay device. These take in the slack as you climb and then lower you gently to the ground. Climbers get a huge sense of satisfaction for conquering fears and completing challenges. All our walls have point scoring challenges and several allow you to race head to head against each other. Our Speed Wall also allows you to time your climb to the top.

Sessions

An Exclusive session is 90 minutes long, including 30 minutes safety briefing at the start.  We can send you our pack with insurance details, risk assessments and link to our safety waiver. Our team of instructors will be on the arena to help your climbers. The maximum we can have for any one session is 36 climbers.

Scout & Guide Climbing Badge Sessions

Your session can go towards your group attaining their climbing badge. Speak to us about how we can structure your session to accommodate this.

Prices

If you would like exclusive use of our arena from Monday to Friday, during term-time, our costs are £13.50 per climber (inc VAT). The minimum number of climbers for an Exclusive session is 15, and our maximum number is 36. All prices include both of the Extreme Challenges, and free tea and coffee for the group leaders.

Extreme Challenges
The group had a great time, it was such fun and we really enjoyed the challenge. Some of the people who use our services had the idea of organising a fundraising challenge to help raise money for social, and wellbeing activities at Wintercomfort, such as a visit to the seaside, fishing trips etc. As it’s Mental Health Awareness Week we decided this week would be a good time to share this with our supporters and have so far raised, £879 (+ GiftAid) which is amazing!
