Finding activities that genuinely engage students is one of the hardest parts of building a summer school programme.
When something feels like a time filler, students know. And once they switch off, it’s hard to get them back.
At Clip ’n Climb Crawley, we offer indoor climbing sessions designed specifically for school groups. Active, challenging, and memorable. The kind of activity students are still talking about on the coach home.
Climbing is one of the fastest-growing activities in UK schools, and for good reason. It gets every student moving, encourages them to push their own limits, and builds genuine confidence in a way that team sports don’t always manage.
There’s no sitting on the sidelines. Every student takes part at their own level, which means it works for mixed groups, including those who don’t typically engage with traditional sports.
Students leave having achieved something real. That sense of accomplishment is exactly what the best summer school activities deliver.
As one of the largest facilities of its kind in the UK, we’re set up for groups, so your visit runs smoothly from start to finish. From the moment your coaches pull up, everything is organised: arrival, safety briefing, session structure, and turnaround time. You won’t be left managing logistics on the day.
Our team has experience working with school groups of all ages and sizes. We know how to keep a session moving, keep students engaged, and keep things safe, without it feeling over-managed.
Clip ’n Climb Crawley is ideally situated for schools and summer school providers across Sussex, Surrey, and Greater London.
∙ 10 minutes from Gatwick Airport
∙ Right off the M23
∙ Easy access and coach parking
Whether you’re running a residential programme or a day trip, we’re one of the most accessible indoor climbing venues in the South East.
We work with a select number of summer school providers each season. If you’re planning your programme for this summer, we offer a trial rate for your first visit and a reduced partner rate for providers who want to include us as a regular activity.
Spaces are limited, so we’d recommend getting in touch early to secure your preferred dates.
If you want an activity that lands with students, not just fills the schedule, get in touch via info.crawley@clipnclimb.co.uk to check availability, ask about group rates, or arrange a site visit before you book.
