The Ropes Course is a popular area of camp. The six elements of our Ropes Course are sure to get your heart pumping! Zoom down our zipline, swing 50’ in the air on our giant swing, maneuver up the climbing wall, and build a camper's self confidence right alongside with their excitement! Every year, our Ropes Course Facilitators and a Lead Ropes Instructor are trained and certified. Additionally, our ropes course facility, harnesses, and equipment are checked for safety. So, our Ropes Course is both safe and FUN! Although the name would imply different, all the elements of our Ropes Course are only offered as classes to both juniors and seniors, except for Leap of Faith.
Definitely the most popular element of the Ropes Course, Zip Line offers an introduction to our elements. This wild ride takes campers all the way to the Back Pastures and right over Malachi the Camel!
Campers will learn to safely descend from the top of the taller Ropes Course tower to the ground on their own! With the instructions from both Facilitators, campers gain confidence in the skills of rappelling.
A group of campers will work along with the Facilitator to help hoist each camper into the air using a pulley system! Once the camper being lifted has reached the desired height, they let go of their end of the pulley system, and go for a great swing!
With both beginner and advanced options, the climbing walls in the Ropes Course offer campers a chance to practice a popular outdoor hobby. Campers who can make it to the top of the wall, can ring the bell, letting the whole camp know!
Starting from the ground up, campers are challenged to stack crates beneath them... as they balance on their own tower! The current standing record for most crates stacked by a camper is at TWENTY SEVEN! Can you beat that?
This element is the most daring on the Ropes Course! Campers will be placed in a full body harness, balancing their way as they walk out a horizontal pole, 30ft high! If they are able to make it to the end, they can take their leap of faith at hitting a ball hanging 6 feet past the end of the pole! Campers who take the Leap of Faith and hit the ball, get a special surprise! Because this element requires campers being able to safely fit into a body harness, it is only offered to senior campers.
