October half term course 6-9 years-Compagnie des Guides Chamonix

A climbing course designed for children, enabling them to gradually develop their technical skills.

This climbing course, designed for children aged 6 to 9, takes place during the Easter and October half-term holidays. It will help them gradually develop their technical skills while gaining independence and confidence. They will learn to equip themselves independently and properly tie into their harness, discover belaying techniques, and perfect their counter-belaying skills, which are essential for being a reliable partner. As they climb higher, they will learn to use their feet and hands effectively. This course will also give them the opportunity to develop their communication skills, using the appropriate vocabulary to interact with their partners, while exploring the concept of roped climbing and the responsibilities that come with it within the team.

The course is led by a state-certified climbing instructor, specialized in working with young children, ensuring a safe and enriching experience with an adapted teaching approach. To ensure optimal progression towards autonomy, registration is only available for the 5 days.

Teaching approaches implemented
- Various sectors to discover different types of rock and difficulty levels
