Stone Monkeys
Stone Monkeys is our after school kids climbing club! Classes run every weekday after school during the school term for age groups between 8-15 years old.
Classes are all about having fun and making new friends, playing games, completing climbing challenges, and learning about climbing technique in the process! Classes are mainly focused on bouldering (low height climbing), however kids above 8 years old will be able to learn and practice belaying each other on the high walls.
Groups for kids age 13-15 are slightly more self-directed with a focus on improving climbing abilities and practicing more advanced techniques.
The club does not run during the school holidays or on public holidays.

Kids wearing their Stone Monkeys t-shirt are allowed to climb in the larger 13+ bouldering room (Transformer Room). Club shirts are $25.50 and can be purchased once your climber earns their belay license. (Note: the 8-9 year old class only requires their bouldering license to purchase their club t-shirt as they are too young to belay)
