9/30 IV Form Ropes Course

Today we had the last of the IV Form students come down for the ropes course.  We had a great day! 

Some interesting facts about the last three weeks:
100 student participants and over 25 ropes course instructors did the following

Consumed:
Over 200 granola bars and PB and J sandwiches.
and
Over 50 gallons of water and Gatorade .

Climbed over:
3,000 feet on the wall
and 4,500 feet on the tower.

All 100 students in attendance had a chance to take part in group games, the climbing wall, alpine tower and low ropes course challenges and initiatives.  All of these activities were facilitated by our talented, and well trained team of student ropes course instructors!
