Can you survive Challenge Week?

Monday, July 7 thru Friday, July 11 • Entering Grades 6 - 8
Maximum Class Size: 16 students, BYOL/free swim

Your first challenge will be to work in groups to navigate the low COPE ropes course. Next, your team will build a monkey bridge, a trestle bridge and two types of friction bridges... with & without rope! Next, work to build a raft that will transport your team safely across the lake. Your next challenge is to make a compass and learn navigation skills to help you survive the field course exercise. For the final challenge, you will learn basic matchless fire starting skills, how to cook lunch for the day using solar energy and how to use bike power (wind & pedal energy) to move large rocks and logs along a challenge obstacle course. Team building, communication skills, cooperation and problem solving are the keys to success during “Survivor Week”!

PARENT INFO: Kids enjoy a one-week outdoor camp experience while learning about friction, structural and mechanical engineering, buoyancy, displacement, magnetism, navigation skills and solar/wind energy.

PLEASE NOTE: One-hour built-in free swim and lunch period. Bring lunch & drink and extra water bottle. Bring bathing suit, sunscreen and towel. No open-toe shoes allowed. Medical release form signed by parent. Rain or shine.
