Guest Blogger, Chris Wiseman. This summer the launch of the new GA Adventure Course was welcomed with enthusiasm, exhilaration and some nervous butterflies by the campers and staff in our Summer Programs. This thrilling new addition to the campus was designed for ages 7 to adult and offers a different challenge for all.
The GA Adventure Course employs the latest technology through a continuous belay system. This allows each person to easily enter onto the course and keeps them securely attached throughout without having to manage transitions at each new element. There are ten different components in the trees reaching 50 feet, including a zip line across the Wissahickon.
The course gives the GA community another tool to build teamwork, responsibility, focus and concentration, and athleticism. It also provides the opportunity to conquer fears and challenge yourself in new ways. We employ the “Challenge by Choice” philosophy which reinforces the message that an individual is to exert and take personal responsibility in choosing his/her behavior and actions.
To learn more or request to use the facility, please contact Chris Wiseman. Or come out to Preserve Day on October 8th from 11-1 and try it out with our trained facilitators.
