Available Activities

Track-N-Trail

Our newly constructed high ropes course is at the forefront of technology. This unparalleled course has a continuous belay system which eliminates participants unclipping while in the air, providing the highest degree of safety. Our course offers participants two level of challenge. The lower level sits at 24 feet and will be available for beginners and participants who are in 5th grade and higher. The second level is 36 feet high and offers a variety of challenges for participants in 6th grade and higher and culminates in a unique auto zip exit.

Climbing Tower

Our 50 foot climbing tower, the highest in Northern Michigan, provides opportunities for personal challenge for the beginner to the advanced climber. Climbers will have access to 6 routes on 3 climbing surfaces with two overhangs supplementing their adventures. The fourth side of our tower provides two vertical elements for a team challenge or alternate route to the top.

Zip Lines

Our free standing zip line provides the opportunity for participants to challenge themselves by climbing a pole to jump off the platform at 30 feet for a 200 foot trip flying across the filed. Our climbing tower has an internal spiral staircase which offers easy access for participants of all ages to ride the 300 foot zip line from a starting height of 50 feet. Zip lines are available for participants 5 years and up.

High Initiatives

This element provides groups with the unique opportunity to focus on team work while faced with the additional challenge of being 28 feet up in the trees, utilizing a self-belay system. Groups will perform physical tasks through problem solving and effective communication.

Pamper Pole

This is perhaps our most mentally and emotionally challenging activity. To accomplish this feat, one must scale a 28 foot narrow pole. At the top, a leap into the air towards a buoy completes the task.

Low Initiatives

These activities are a set of group building elements at ground level. The goal of low initiatives is to present the group with a series of challenges that enable individuals to create trust within the group and focus on positive communication, while fostering a caring and mutually supportive environment in which participants learn to take on new challenges.
