Bouldering with kids

Bouldering for Children

First time bouldering with children

Looking for an active outing in The Hague? Bouldering is an adventurous and playful sport, making it very suitable for children. Whether it involves a children's party, an afternoon of bouldering with family, or seriously starting out in the sport: it's all possible!

Children aged 7 and up are allowed to come bouldering with us under supervision.

You can simply walk in for this; you will receive an introduction to the safety rules beforehand.

For children under 7, we have a fun play area; you pay a contribution of 4.50 euros for this (including a drink).

The Campus Youth Club

Does your child think climbing is absolutely awesome and does your child want to try out our youth training? That is possible! We have youth training for different ages and at different times:

We offer youth training for three different age groups:

7 to 10 - 11 to 14 - 15 to 18

In addition, we distinguish between regular and enthusiastic groups.
An enthusiastic group is intended for highly motivated children who want to become very good at climbing, and a regular group is intended for children who enjoy it and do not necessarily want to train hard. A trial lesson will always start in a regular group!

Want to join youth training?

Are you between 7 and 18 years old and would you like to come and train with us or try it out? Then you can sign up for a trial lesson. Send an email to jeugd@boulderhaldecampus.nl containing the following information: first and last name, date of birth, and your preferred day. Participation in a trial lesson costs €10*.

*Please note: 1) a trial lesson must always be requested and 2) trial lessons are not possible without a spot in the group, so you must first be placed on a waiting list. 3) you can take a maximum of 2 trial lessons.

We also offer youth training at our sister gym, Boulderhal Nirvana! Check the website for times and email for availability.

Membership costs

A youth membership (including one youth training session per week) costs € 52 per month. Additionally, with this membership, your child can come bouldering freely as often as you like. (Please note!) From age 13, this is allowed independently; for children aged 7 to 12, this must be under the supervision of an adult.

Do you want to train with supervision more often than once a week? That is also possible. For this, we offer an 'unlimited training' membership. For just € 60 per month. Register your child by sending an email to jeugd@boulderhaldecampus.nl.
