Climbing Bornholm

Camp schools

And groups in general

Climbing and rappelling
for students from 5th grade or higher

Opal Lake's cliffs as a sports hall

The high cliffs of the Opal Lake area, packed with industrial historye from the former granite quarry, is the perfect place to try climbing and rappelling. The degree of difficulty can be adjusted for everyone in the group and provide a healthy mix of challenges and success experiences.

In addition to being fun, the activities challenge the students in different ways. Climbing is about spatial intelligence, balance, agility and to some extent strength. Rappelling is more about stepping beyond one's usual limits. Students are often seen expressing themselves in new ways not seen in normal school settings.

The activities at Klatring Bornholm are tailored to the different grade levels and the instructors focus on supporting the individual student and the group as a whole in a safe and exciting day they will remember in the future.

Read about the Isaiah School experience:

We have with our 5. kl. had a great experience with Klatring Bornholm. 
They are skilled, professional and meet the students at eye level. We have previously tried rappelling, but we find that climbing offers more space for both those who may have difficulty with heights and those who have tried it many times before. All students were challenged at their level and had a good experience with calm, skilled instructors. Klatring Bornholm had also organized other pleasant activities so that the students did not experience queuing. Thank you for a really good experience. We will definitely come again.

Activities adapted to camp schools

Rock climbing

Climbing is about courage and co-operation. The 8 climbing routes hhe extent and difficulty level is chosen by the individual student, which creates a very safe experience. It's not necessarily about reaching the top, but rather about experiencing success.

Depending on the grade level, students are assigned responsibilities and tasks on the ground and must work together, Both in guiding each other with tips for the climbing route, but also in belaying, which they are thoroughly familiarised with by our instructors. There is a buzz of activity, concentration and positive cheers when someone reaches the top or breaks their limits. Learners get a sense of ownership while safety is paramount.

5th - 6th grade: students are ensured by instructors and teachers are involved.

7th grade - or higher: the students learn to secure each other with backup security in groups of 3 and 3. Great sense of responsibility in a safe environment!

Time frame for 25 students: 2.5 hours

Available all year round.

Rappelling from 18 metres

Rappelling takes place from 18 meters in two lanes down a vertical cliff edge, with landing in the same area as rock climbing. The instructor stands at the top of each course and guides people safely off. You control the speed down the rope yourself, while the instructor controls a backup rope.

Before the rappelling starts, a trial course on safe ground gives everyone familiarity with the equipment and technique, before standing on the edge of the 18 meter high and vertical cliff face with the instructor.

Good activity on its own or in combination with climbing.

Time frame for 25 students: 2.5 hours

Offered June - July - August.

Rappelling from 45 metres

Rappelling takes place from 45 meters in one or two lanes down a vertical cliff edge. An instructor stands at the top of each course and guides people safely off. Before the rappelling begins, a trial course on safe ground gives everyone familiarity with the equipment and technique.

Best for groups up to 20 people or in combination with other activities.

It is possible to abseil normally or Australian, i.e. where you go forward down the cliff. Even if you control the speed yourself, you always have a backup line on which the instructor holds.

Time frame with 20 students: 4 hours
