What: Rappelling, of course! Or “abseiling” if you’re German~~ The art of dangling on a rope over a cliff. Our qualified Rappelmasters teach you the right way/ the safe way. If you are 13 and younger, you get to do so only in the presence of your parent or other guardian (not necessarily on the rope, just topside). Find out how many times you have to do it to earn the coveted rappelling knot– Scouts and adults. Back at camp, work on some of those outdoor skills you’ve been wanting to become proficient at, including cooking in a dutch oven.
