Ropes Course
A ropes course integrates adventure, teamwork,
and self coaching into one high energy activity. Ropes courses, some
of which are
built high in the air while others are on the ground, contain
a series of obstacles and challenges. All obstacles require participants
to work together to achieve their goals. Most elements are physically
engaging, but require no special skills or conditioning. Effective
performance during a ropes course requires collaborative efforts
and creative thinking to overcome challenges. We provide an environment
that meets all industry safety standards. Participants are in control
of their participation. No one is forced to participate in any
challenge they do not wish to take on but are encouraged to stretch
their limits and reach new levels of personal success.
Rock Climbing
We take participants to “High Rocks”, an area of Ralph
Stover State Park, PA, for an exciting day of rock climbing. Participants
are challenged to take on some of the cliffs located in the park
and experience the thrill of rock climbing. The Adventure Network
provides all of the necessary equipment and our instructors have
extensive experience and training from nationally recognized companies
such as NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School).
Please wear
loose fitting clothing, sneakers or hiking boots. Bring a rain poncho
or jacket. Rappelling
Just outside of New Hope, PA is Ralph Stover
State Park and the “High
Rocks”. These rock walls range in height from 75 to 130 ft.
Participants are given the unforgettable opportunity to rappel down
one of these impressive cliffs with the guidance of our expert staff.
The Adventure Network provides all of the necessary equipment for
rappelling.
Please wear loose fitting clothing, sneakers or
hiking boots. Bring a rain poncho or jacket.
Spelunking (Caving)
Explore Piper’s Cave near Carlisle, PA. This limestone cave
is consistantly 55-60 degrees Farenheight and provides an incredible
adventure for any explorer. Piper’s Cave is nationally recognized
by several authors of caving books. The Adventure Network provides
helmets for this experience.
Please wear clothing and shoes that you
don't mind getting muddy and bring something that you can change
into easily afterward. Coveralls
work best, but are not necessary.
We crawl at times (very short distances) so knee-pads are helpful, but not
necessary. Helmets are provided. You may want to bring a knit cap.
Two
flashlights and fresh batteries are required. The only light
in the cave is what we bring into it ourselves.
Canoe-Raft-Kayak-Tube
Relax on a leisurely float down the Delaware
River just north of Stockton, PA. Lay back in a tube or a raft
or try a canoe
or kayak for more excitement.
The
Adventure Network staff provides instruction on paddling strokes and safety.
We also provide all of the equipment necessary for your trip.
Sneakers/water
shoes, shorts/bathing suit are suggested.
Orienteering
Explore our wonderful surroundings while learning
a new skill. Our orienteering course provides a great way to
experience nature
on various terrains while
learning the skills necessary to navigate using only a map and compass.
Hiking
and Outdoor Education
Take a hike along the beautiful waterfalls of Lehigh Gorge
in Jim Thorpe, PA or go on a challenging and rewarding hike
to the top of Mt. Tammany
at the
Delaware Water Gap in New Jersey. The breathtaking lookouts and sites
along the way make
these trips well worth it. Parts of the trail are strenuous, but
our staff makes certain that the pace accommodates all participants.
Loose clothing and sturdy sneakers or hiking
shoes are recommended. |
