Registration is open. Places are limited
Are your youngsters unable to keep still and climb on everything they see? Enroll them in Zéro Gravité children’s courses.
We offer exercises combining balance, motor skills, and agility on the ground. We transpose the acquired knowledge on the wall, in the form of games, to develop their ease at heights. Also, we teach them the basic safety rules that will allow children to climb independently (except for groups ages 5-6). All this in small groups, for great team spirit!
Our classes cater to climbers of different levels, ensuring everyone feels welcome and included whether your child is just starting or looking for challenges.
There are 10 classes per semester (one session per week) beginning January 25th.
Discovery Classes

Through fun and engaging activities, kids will learn basic climbing techniques, safety protocols, and the importance of teamwork. The focus is on building confidence, physical coordination, and a love for climbing in a safe and supportive environment.
