Climbing is only permitted under the guidance of a professionally trained instructor and the activity is tailored to each child's ability

A dietician will meet with the child and his/her parents to offer initial advice. The child will then participate in group meetings run by a professional dietician. A suitable diet will be suggested for each child according to his/her needs and preferences within the framework of the family's eating habits.
