School activity bouldering Antwerp

Island School

Looking for a fun and sporty activity for the school? Then The Island is the right place for you! During an introduction, the children will get acquainted with bouldering in a fun and safe way. First, they will receive a short explanation from our instructor about the basics of climbing and how everything works in the hall. Afterwards, they can get started on the climbing walls themselves, naturally under the guidance of an enthusiastic instructor. Expect 1.5 hours full of climbing fun, challenging climbing routes, and fun games that stimulate teamwork, trust, and movement. An active outing where fun is paramount and everyone can participate at their own level!

Clean sports shoes

Preferably with a light sole, in any case not outdoor shoes (proper climbing shoes can be rented for just €4.50).

Sportswear

Climbing uses your whole body, so naturally you'll want to move comfortably in your clothes.

Get in touch

Who is it for?

Anyone can go bouldering! You can do it on your own or with friends. Feel free to pop in. We'll be happy to help you get started.

Is it safe?

Bouldering is the safest form of indoor climbing. The maximum height of the walls is ‘only’ 4.5 metres and the floor is covered with thick mats. As with any sport, there are, of course, always some risks involved. If you would like to know more about this, please feel free to contact us.

Is there an age limit?

8 is the minimum age and there is no maximum. Climbers up to the age of 12 may only climb under the direct supervision of their parents (1 adult per 2 children).

What should I bring?

Actually, you only need comfortable clothes and trainers. For extra grip on the wall, we recommend renting climbing shoes from us. These are available at reception for €4.50.
