Cliff Hangers
The Sports Center is home to one of the Northeast’s largest and most challenging climbing walls. The 10,000 square foot main wall and 1,200-square-foot bouldering wall can accommodate all levels, from first-timers to more experienced climbers.
This amazing climbing resource is now available to Junior Climbers through our popular “Cliff Hangers” program. Children (age 7-11) and teens (age 12-16) are invited to experience one of the fastest growing sports in America, all under the guidance of the Sports Center’s expert instructors.
Rock climbing is an ideal sport for kids looking for an alternative to traditional team or individual sports. It requires concentration, finesse, and problem-solving skills. The sport is also a great confidence builder, as participants set and reach new goals at each climbing session. Rock climbing is also a great activity for kids and teens that simply want the fun and challenge of trying something new with their peers.
Cliff Hangers is geared towards performance and training, while still emphasizing the fun of rock climbing. Students learn climbing technique that challenge them both physically and mentally by utilizing dynamic bouldering movement. Exercises stress safety, climbing strength and developing an understanding of climbing technique. Kids also become acquainted with climbing equipment and belay methods. A low 5:1 student/ teacher ratio ensures a safe learning environment.
