## About

The Cliffs, a climbing gym in Long Island City, offers a weekend introductory climbing experience camp for children aged 4 to 13. Under the supervision of coaches certified by the USA Bouldering and Climbing Association, with a strict 1:4 instructor-to-student ratio, children may learn to wear safety harnesses, perform three-point balance movements, and bouldering landing techniques through climbing games. This activity aims to train core strength, limb flexibility, and spatial decision-making skills. The first floor of the venue is described as completely flat, with a comfortable spectator lounge area for parents and high-speed free WiFi, convenient for stroller parking. Men's, women's, and family restrooms are all reportedly equipped with baby changing stations. It is said to be a 3-minute walk from Court Sq subway station. Street parking and ample coffee and light meal options are available outside the gym.
