Vertical Challenge Tower
This 50-foot tall tower, also known as "Goliath", has a rock climbing wall plus two vertical challenge routes: one for beginner and one for more advanced climbers. Campers climb a route to get to the top of the tower. The routes consist of elements like rope ladders, hanging tires, hanging timbers and knotted rope. Once a camper reaches the top he can choose to rappel down or take the 400 foot long zip line to the bottom of the hill, an 80 foot drop.
Water Slide
Our one of a kind suspension water slide is a camp favorite. Perfect for cooling off on a hot summer day, this 80-foot long slide speeds campers to the splash pool at the bottom.
High Ropes Courses
Beginner Level Course
This is an obstacle course 12 feet in the air! Campers put on a harness and are connected to a safety rope, which will catch them if they should misstep. The course requires no technical knowledge on the camper's part. All they do is have fun moving through the climbing and balance elements of the course.
Advanced Level Course
This course is similar to the beginner course except it is higher off the ground, and requires the camper to be able to make connections with safety ropes. The highlight of the course is the 40-foot high zip line, which is the last element on this 9-element course.
Climbing Tower
An eight sided, 30 foot tall climbing tower has many different degree-of-difficulty climbs. With a technical range of 5.3 - 5.10, anyone can find a climbing route to fit their skill level. The lower level of the tower has a bouldering cave which provides lots of fun without the need for safety ropes. The tower also doubles as a great place to get the feel of rappelling.
Mega Swing
This gigantic swing is a real thrill! Campers are harnessed into a 40-foot tall double cable V swing and then hoisted towards the top of the swing's arc. Because the rider controls the release mechanism, the camper can swing from any point during the ascent.
Flying Squirrel
The Flying Squirrel gives campers a chance to see what it feels like to jump from tree to tree at 30 feet off the ground. Well almost, actually after climbing to the top of a 30 beam and then making your way to stand on the very top of the beam then comes the jump to see if you can reach a target dangling about six feet away.
