CLIMB DOWN

Autism-friendly and SEND climbing in Milton Keynes

At Climb Quest Milton Keynes, we passionately share an ethos around inclusion for all, running specific Autism- friendly and SEND sessions. We support groups and individuals to challenge themselves and promote healthy lifestyle activities. We try and support as many people as possible to try climbing through our regular events, work with charities and groups, and through 1:1 activities.

Our friendly instructors are always on hand to help people climb at Climb Quest Milton Keynes.

Benefits

Where climbing centre meets theme park, climbers in our Autism-Friendly and SEND sessions can experience over 25 amazing looking challenges, that are suitable for all ages, abilities and confidence levels. There are assistance climbing hoists for climbers with physical disabilities and the activity is extremely successful for children with autism. We are very proud of the fantastic feedback we receive for our SEND sessions particularly around how accessible the activity is and how it helps build confidence.

Our centre motto is ‘be proud of what you can achieve’. Climbers get a huge sense of pride from what they achieve on the Climb Quest walls. Parents feel an amazing sense of pride seeing their children develop in confidence over their climbing session.

Sessions

Public Send

Every Sunday morning (apart from the 3rd Sunday of the month), Climb Quest run a special session for those climbers with special educational needs. We provide as calm an environment as possible for all members of the family to climb and siblings are welcome to join the session. We turn the music right down if needed, and there are plenty of instructors to help. We also restrict numbers in the session to 14.

We also run these sessions on selected dates in the school holidays. Tickets can be booked in advance through our booking site.

Spectrum

We are very been fortunate to work with Spectrum, a multi-award winning, parent led charity, providing events and support for families of children with Autism, additional needs, learning difficulties and disabilities. We are working with them to hold one session a month for their members. They have also run various fundraising events, including the same height as Mount Everest in one session! All places on these sessions are booked through Spectrum.

Download SEND flyer

You can download our flyer to share with your school, group, charity, friends and family to let them know about our Autism-friendly and SEND sessions.

Climbing Hoist

The centre has a climbing hoist that we can use to help those who find it difficult to climb. We can help two people per session with the hoist. If you would like to pre-book the hoist for your child, please email or call us. The hoist is not in operation all the time, and needs to be set up, so we need to know that you would like to use it. You are very welcome to arrange a time to visit the centre before your session to meet some of our instructors, and to be shown the walls and hoist.

My son has severe learning disabilities and would not have enjoyed a full party experience but your staff made it possible for me to do a block booking instead in a way that we were the only group on the arena. This was hugely appreciated and made the whole idea more appealing to my son. My son and his friends arrived on Saturday being their wonderful selfs with a variety of disabilities from none at all to young boy with profound disabilities. As asked, the hoist was already set up and ready to go... Your staff worked amazingly with George and his parents to find a solution that enabled him to enjoy the experience of climbing and being high up on the walls. Thank you so much to all of the staff that made our hour so much fun.
