Creation climbing centre works closely with local Councils and has become a popular destination for school bookings with over 10,000 students taught. In 3 years. Climbing offers huge benefits. It encourages physical activity, teaches responsibility and safety and also helps to overcome inherent fear of height with the sense of achievement and satisfaction attained by climbing the challenging walls.

As the biggest indoor climbing centre in the Midlands, Creation was built with climbers in mind and the widest array of wall types and climbing routes to suit all abilities. Since opening in

2004 they have strived to build on their success by providing the ultimate climbing  experience. A big part of this is the education and training of new climbers which guarantees the future of the sport while providing an exciting, challenging and rewarding activity for students. The centre continues to expand; creating new rooms, and regularly incorporates new climbing technologies.

Creation has tailor designed training packages for schools which cover whole terms. These packages include a complete syllabus that students can work through during their regular visits. It shows them all the basics required to start climbing, the safety issues involved, and then works through a carefully crafted programme to help the group work together as a team to achieve their goals.

School climbing sessions are designed to be fun and educational. There are no school rules and no bad marks for getting it wrong. Creation can cater for groups of all abilities including special needs. Their instructors work on a maximum ratio of 1:8, although be-spoke ratios can be arranged if necessary. The group can climb the roped routes; enjoy bouldering on low level walls complete with safety mats, and also participate in the thrill of abseiling.

In addition to the climbing experience Creation also offer optional extras to your session which can include 30 minute classroom presentations by qualified staff on such topics as Risk Management, The Physics of Climbing and Leadership & Coaching Skills. Creation offers a flexible service and will try to accommodate your wishes as closely as possible.

Rates for school groups are £50 for the first hour, ratio 1:8. The second consecutive hour is available for just £20. That's an hour session with a fully qualified instructor and all the safety equipment required for just £6.25, or two hours for just £8.75 per person. Early booking is advisable.
