Shielbaggan OEC Outdoor Education Centre

Mobile Climbing Wall Travels to Schools

Shielbaggan OEC is now preparing to tour schools with its Mobile Climbing Wall to promote outdoor sports in schools. Exercise and fitness are now more important than ever and providing young people with new, more adventurous activities will help to promote a lifestyle of involvement in participative sport. Our mobile climbing wall takes much of the cost out of organizing climbing as a school activity, as we bring the wall to you, thus increasing throughput and acessibility as well lowering the price per head. We can also provide other activities on site such as team buildingarcheryp1030795web-copy and orienteering. It’s suitable for ages 7 years upwards.
