What's on

Climbing is a very popular sport - for young and old. And as small children intuitively learn how to climb, the youth hostel Echternach offers two courses at two different times for the 5 - 7 year old children. From 7th of January to the 1^st of April, it's all about effort, fun and coordination in Echternach when the little koalas try their hand at climbing the 14-metre high climbing wall.

This twelve-week programme takes place every Thursday between 13:00 and 14:00 o’clock at the youth hostel in Echternach and is aimed at the little climbing beginners or those who already have some experience.

A sporting activity is important at any age in order to build up concentration, confidence and the awareness of your own body. Furthermore, the children learn to cope with success, effort and frustration whilst living out their urge to move.

The places are limited. Please register in advance.

As usual, the trainer team of the youth hostel Echternach organises a climbing course for the sporty kids at the beginning of the year. Those aged from 8 to 12 can discover the 14-metre-high indoor climbing wall from the 7^th of January to the 1st of April during a 12-week course. The course takes place on Thursdays from 15:30 to 17:00 o’clock.

At this age, a sporting activity is very important to develop motor skills as well as coordination of movement. Stamina and posture also benefit from this activity. So why not choose climbing as a hobby and burn off some energy once a week?

The animation team of the youth hostel Echternach offers two climbing courses at two different times for the 5 - 7 year old little climbing fans. Between 7th January and 1st April, the climbing course for the children takes place on the 14-metre high indoor climbing wall. This twelve-week programme is organised every Thursday between 2:15 and 3:15 pm at the Echternach youth hostel and is aimed at young beginners or those who already have some experience.

Children start climbing at a very young age and usually do it intuitively. Climbing not only helps to develop the self-perception and self-confidence of children but also helps them to assess their own limits. Children also learn through failure which is another important point in their development. So why not register your little ones in a climbing course and thus promote their sporting activities?

The places are limited. Please register in advance.

Requirements:
The course is intended for children aged from 5 to 7 years. No prior experience in climbing is required.
