Itinerary

Arrival Day – Arrive at Calvert Lakes any time after 4:00pm. Dinner is served at 6:00pm which is a great opportunity to meet all the members of your team and the group instructor. After dinner maybe take a dip in the hydro-pool or unwind in the Games Room with your group.

Day 1 – Your first day of climbing begins indoors at Calvert Lakes, where you’ll warm up on our adjustable climbing wall while building confidence and developing essential skills. Under expert guidance, you’ll learn how to fit and use your harness, belay safely, and abseil, along with a range of key climbing techniques. This hands-on introduction will prepare you for the exciting transition to climbing on real rock in the afternoon.

After lunch at the centre we’ll visit a nearby crag and put into practice what we have learnt in the morning.
