There are probably a lot of courses you could start with, but first - I would suggest going to a gym or join a club, see if you actually enjoy climbing first!
Heights can be paralysing for some, exhilarating for others.

Going outdoors is always a magical experience, while climbing gyms can sometimes feel more like video game parlours. Either way - once you are 10m off the ground, you'll know if this is for you.

One option is meetup.com - I haven't tried it myself but I have met loads of climbers who use it as a way to connect. Otherwise there are adventure parent forums & groups.

As I said above - I'll be at Mt Arapiles with my kids over the second week of the holidays, though my kids are half your son's age, but they both love climbing.
