Clip ‘n Climb Ipswich is an accredited centre of the National Indoor Climbing Award Scheme (NICAS) to deliver various climbing courses for children and teenagers.
We offer both Foundation and Advanced NICAS Clip courses which aim to introduce new climbers safely into the indoor climbing environment, develop awareness of climbing movements, improve confidence and create a pathway into additional climbing activities.
NICAS CLIP is a nationally recognised climbing award – children receive a log book and candidate number which is completed each week by an instructor. Parents can access an individual NICAS portal to view progress, download certificates and access NICAS information.
NICAS Foundation is focussed on learning climbing technique and skills through games and floor based activities – children will not be spending their whole session on the walls.
Children are required to complete the Foundation course to progress onto the NICAS Advanced Levels.
Please see below the four clubs available throughout the week:
16:00 – Introduction to Climbing & NICAS (4 – 6 yr olds)
16:30 – NICAS CLIP Foundation & Advanced Levels (ages 7 +)
17:00 – Beyond NICAS – for children who have completed NICAS Advanced
