Our unique Ropes Course includes six low elements and twelve high elements located in the natural wooded setting on our 54-acre campus. This exciting, unique week of adventure will include the thrill of climbing on our incredible high element ropes course and the choice to ride your mountain bike on our brand new, mile-long mountain bike trail.

Our ropes course program includes introducing proper safety, set-up, use, take-down, and care of course and equipment. We develop team building and communication through games, low elements, and high elements in a safe, "challenge by choice" environment.

Although this camp's focus is climbing on our high ropes course, each camper will also have the option to bring their bike and ride each day.

Our mountain bike trail is a mile-long bike trail that traverses through the pristine woods adjacent to the ropes course. The bike course includes fun turns and whoop-de-doos.

Throughout the week:

• Students engage in healthy risk-taking that supports communication, self-awareness, perseverance, and self-management skills.
• Students develop social-emotional skills that are critical for school and life success.
• Students engage in challenges that strengthen group communication skills, allow for goal setting, and foster resiliency.
• Students use this experience to create a positive attitude, develop self-confidence, and enhance the skill set that allows them to work as leaders within their communities.
• Most of all, students will have a blast with their friends and get awesome exercise away from all electronics and social media!

Kids Connection is a leadership program designed to enhance self-esteem in the kids while working together in groups. Social-emotional lessons are embedded into the activities, and each camper is given the opportunity to grow in confidence and to become active participants in their learning. Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is defined as an alignment of education and human development. SEL is the process where students can gain and apply knowledge and skills to manage their emotions, achieve personal and collaborative goals, feel and show empathy for others, and make responsible and caring decisions. Kids Connection provides SEL lessons and activities in an engaging and energic environment. The campers are constantly engaging with others with activities designed to promote positive social interactions. Who we are: Stasia Hansen has been a Board Certified Behavior Analyst since 2003.
