Look up rock gyms in the area, good place to start the kids, you will probably also find some guide books for around that area as well.

I don't think there is much for kid friendly crags up around the Bruce. My suggestion, if you really feel the need to take them outside, is to head to Halfway Dump and go bouldering with them. Depending on their ages they'll probably enjoy it more anyway.

Or Metcafle Rock, south of Thornbury.
Metcalfe would be the easiest to get kids on a TR.
Binrat- whats the SOP for TR anchors up there?
