Challenge Course

Reach for the sky

Adventure-seekers are invited to Camp Liberty for an obstacle course above the trees!

Through a series of challenges and elements, girls and adults will work together to make it to the final spot, and then zip line down. It is seriously an adrenaline rush!

Before climbing up to the course, participants will go through training with a certified instructor and test their balance and communication on a low ropes course on the ground. Then, participants will challenge themselves while having fun with team-focused problem-solving games.

All challenge course activities follow the challenge by choice philosophy so participants choose their level of adventure. Participants must be in at least sixth grade. All activities are led by a highly trained and certified instructor.
