Family Induction Course

A Fun Introduction to Climbing for the Whole Family

Our Family Induction Course at Climbing Hut Ellesmere Port is perfect for families who are new to climbing or want a refresher. This session provides a supportive introduction to climbing for both children and adults, helping everyone gain confidence on the wall together.


Families will learn the basics of climbing, including technique, safety, and wall awareness, in a relaxed and fun environment. The course is designed to be enjoyable for all ages while giving parents and children the skills they need to climb safely.



What the Session Involves


During the Family Induction Course, children aged 7 to 10 years will be assessed in a similar way to our Mountain Goats Induction. This assessment ensures that confident and capable young climbers can progress into the Main Area of Boulder Hut, rather than being limited to the Boulder Zoo, which is usually where under 11s climb.


The session provides guidance on:

  • Basic climbing techniques for all family members

  • Safe use of climbing equipment

  • Wall movement and body positioning

  • How to climb safely together as a family


This assessment allows children to challenge themselves safely while enabling families to make the most of all areas of the climbing gym.



Who This Course Is For


The Family Induction Course is ideal for:

  • Families new to climbing

  • Families returning after a break

  • Children aged 7 - 10 who are ready to progress beyond beginner areas

  • Adults who want to climb confidently alongside their children


It offers a structured and safe introduction for families to enjoy climbing together while building skills and confidence.



A Safe and Supportive Experience


Safety is a priority during all Family Induction Courses. Experienced instructors provide guidance and supervision throughout the session, ensuring both children and adults learn how to climb safely.
