New this summer at Oakland Yard will be our very own low ropes course, specifically designed for children. Built among the trees on our property, this challenging series of ropes, ladders, platforms, and zip lines were put together to enhance our young camper's confidence in group settings. With designs taken from the British Army and the Colorado Outward Bound program, we are confident this camp will be a lasting experience for all those that take the Adventure Ropes Course challenge.

Campers will be divided into two teams of six on day one and actively participate in team building exercises to build trust using proven methods practiced by the British Army since World War I. By day two, both teams will take to the trees, gradually working their way up to more challenging two and three person moves in the ropes course. With no child ever being over 8' off the ground and alway harnessed in, this camp will inspire and progressively confront all campers with obstacles they would not come across in your average summer vacation. Children looking to overcome a fear of heights will greatly benefit from this camp.

Camp is limited to 12 campers per week and is open to boys and girls ages 7 to 12.


The new ropes course welcomed its first campers on July 5th.
