Adventure Challenge Course - ACC
The Adventure Challenge Course is designed for younger participants.

Communication, leadership, cooperation, patience, goal setting, analysis and planning are some of the team attributes addressed during the challenge course.

Cliff Rappelling - CR
 A beautiful view sets the stage for rappelling 55 feet off the
overlook precipice atop Spruce Mountain — but first comes
a strenuous hike to the cliff. Ideal for beginners, you'll learn
the basics of descent control. You'll always be on belay by
the facilitator, who will verbally guide you as needed.

climbing techniques, set personal goals and receive encouragement
from your group.
Time: 1.5 - 2 hours
Age: 8 + years
Group size: 12 - 24
Climbing Wall - CW
 The indoor climbing wall provides a less difficult alternative to our climbing tower.

Group size: 12 - 20

Age: 5 + years
Group size: 8-15 ...larger groups may request Bouldering Wall and Climbing Wall as a combined activity.

Woosey," puts you to the test of working with a partner to
climb the 25-ft. high ladder with rungs that get increasingly
further apart. Once on the platform at the top of the climb, you and your partner will step out onto
twin cables that also get further apart! This activity builds communication skills,
cooperation and creative thinking.
Time: 3 – 3.5 hours
Age: 12 + years
Group size: 8 - 16
Mini Zipline - MZL
 On this shorter version of our "big" zipline, you'll sail from a
platform high in a tree 200 feet across the Wilderness Camp
pond! The harness, rope and pulley system are like those
used on the long zipline. It's a great way for kids to think about
faith, fears, and how to encourage and treat others.
Time: 1.5 hours
Age: 8-11 years
Group size: 8 - 15
Weight/Height Limit: riders must be less than 5'6" tall and weigh

Indoor Power Swing - iPS
 A fantastic thrill ride for the young and young at heart. The participant is attached to a long cable connected to the ceiling of the Program Center. A team of people then pulls the participant 25 feet up to the ceiling rafters. Then suddenly, with the release of a special clip, the rider swings in a giant arc, up to the ceiling and back again! Back and forth the rider swings. Riders get to choose how high they want to be pulled. Faith and fun are emphasized in this activity.
Time: 1.5 - 2 hours
Age: 8 + years
Group size: 8 - 24
Outdoor Power Swing - oPS

a net, a beam, huge tire, ladders and rope to a platform
more than 30 feet high. There are ways to adapt the climb to
varying ability levels, but all climbers need determination,
perseverance and cooperation to make the final goal.
Time: 1.5 - 2.5 hours
Age: 12+ years
Group size: 10 - 16
Zipline - ZL
 From a platform about 15 feet high in a tree, you'll fly 25-30
m.p.h down a 500-foot cable! Your harness is attached to a
pulley that rolls along the cable and lets gravity bring you to
an eventual gentle stop. Others will cheer and lend encouragement.
Here the focus is on that "step of faith."
