Description

Kids are natural climbers, with tons of energy. They love to climb and explore. Whether it is reaching the top of a tree or climbing on the furniture, it is a typical way to move for them. So, what better way to harness that energy than with an exciting activity? We offer private rock climbing lessons for kids from 6 years old onwards, in our Ma Niak Climbing Gym in Nivelles, just 25 minutes drive from Brussels.

We are a team of passionate instructors, who will be more than happy to introduce your kids to this sport and we will accompany them throughout their stay in our room. Your kid’s safety will be our top priority at all times. During these 1-hour lessons, a dedicated monitor will provide your children a 100% personalized coaching at the pace that best suits them.

Our classes provide a fun and safe experience and are aimed to help them discover their natural climbing skills. We offer lessons for different levels, from beginners to advanced, and for all ages, between 6 and 16 years old.

Climbing provides many physical and mental benefits for children. On the emotional level, it increases their self-confidence and concentration, helps them control their emotions and impulsivity while they also learn to make decisions and follow rules. It is also a great way to develop team skills. On the physical level, it improves their psychomotility, strength and coordination skills while enjoying a fun challenge, among many other benefits.

Although it is often linked as an extreme activity, indoor climbing is safer than many other sports. We start our lessons by climbing blocks (small walls of low height), making it possible for children to progress safely and gain in confidence.

Climbing is also a great way for kids to develop problem-solving skills: each course is a bit of a puzzle that climbers must solve in order to reach the top. This sometimes requires starting again and taking a step back to analyze the best method to use.

Finally, one of the greatest benefits of climbing is that it allows children to play a sport where the competition is only present as a challenge for themselves and not among partners.

Just send us a request if you’d like your children to enjoy an exciting and safe activity, close to Brussels. We will be happy to introduce them on the wonderful world of climbing.

About the guide

The dream of creating the Ma Niak climbing gym in Nivelles, Belgium began during a climbing trip to Yosemite. Its owners, Martin and Nicolas, shared the same values when it came to the Begian climbing scene and became convinced that a complete rock climbing gym was needed in Nivelles.

Ma Niak now offers 4.5m-high bouldering walls, 15m-high walls for sport climbing and a wide variety of climbing courses for both beginners and advanced climbers, and for adults and children. It also offer yoga lessons, a sauna and a bar, where live music is performed.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.

Hello! I have been thoroughly impressed by the service and assistance that explore-share have provided the past couple years in helping to plan my trip to the High Tatras in Poland. I really appreciated the flexibility that they provided in allowing me to rearrange my trip twice owing to covid. They were responsive and communicative throughout. This trip was part of my Stag weekend celebrations and explore-share connected me with an outstanding guide in the form of Marcel - he was an excellent recommendation and we really enjoyed our guided hike in the High Tatras with him. Marcel was an outstanding professional, placed a high focus on preparing well and staying safe, and was also a great guy! Highly recommend. Many thanks and best wishes - Richard

Our first time with Explore-Share. An absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Extremely good value, very well organised with attention to detail. We travel widely and this has by far been the best of experiences. Well done to all concerned. We are already looking at booking another trip!
