Would Ziplining Through the Forest and Skimming Over the Three Tops Give You the Adrenalin

Would ziplining through the forest and skimming over the three tops give you the adrenalin rush you long for?

If it would, this year’s High Adventure trip is for you! Join Troop 89 for a week of adventure at The Summit Bechtel Reserve in beautiful West Virginia. Our trip will lead you on a trek that will focus on aerial challenge activities: Climbing, Rappeling, Forest Canopy ZiplineTours, Cope and Challenge Courses and to top that off you will round out the adventure with a ride on the Big Zip! It’s one of America’s longest zip lines at ¾ of a mile long. You will soar over the beautiful Bravo Lake and hit speeds of around 50 miles per hour. We also get to choose two additional adventures from the following: BMX, Mountain Biking, Skatepark, Archery, Rifle Range, Kayaking, or White Water Rafting.
