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.
Cost is $15 per person and pre-registration is required.
