Ropes Course

The high ropes course is designed for small teams of participants to travel across cables and logs, working their way to the final zip line finish. The course is one of the best designed ropes courses in the country. The course requires participants to work in groups of four to eight people, who are outfitted with a helmet, climbing harness and safety straps. Participants must be at least 12 years old, should be ready for a challenge and should be comfortable working with and supporting others. It is important that everyone arrives on time. Groups will ascend the course on cargo nets to platforms where they will be advised by a staff member on how best to traverse the next section of the course.  The course is 10-25 feet above the ground.  All participants must go through a briefing and training on how to use the safety clips. Gear: participants must wear closed toed shoes and long trousers.
