We're at camp again - the whole family this time. It's a weekend thing, an annual Pilgrimage camp for the Salvation Army in the Northern Division. During our afternoon free time today we went for a little adventure.
Our first stop was to see the animals: cows, and sheep, and goats, and ponies, and chickens, and ducks, and llamas.... But that was just preliminary to the real fun.
The camp maintains a high ropes course. That is adventure -suspended high above the ground by ropes, and carabiner and trust in your belayer below. We belted into our harnesses, donned snug helmets, and climbed high into the air.
Our son - 9 years old - is a fearless climber. He first ascended the ropes course three years ago - climbed up the pole and launched himself out on the zipline. This year he mastered the 'platforms.' He said it would have been easier if his legs had been longer. I was pleasantly surpised that my wife went up. She's not always that brave.
