Rocketeers and Moondancing

Hello Fellow Climbers!
Whew, it's been a busy week! Last week we had a fun group of boys for our first Rocketeers session of the summer! A few of the boys had been to camp in previous years so it was fun to watch them help out the other campers. We had two half days in the gym learning to tie knots and working on top roping skills, then out into the forest for a full day of climbing on Looking Glass Rock! The boys were great, some of them practically ran up the climbs! Now we're starting another week of Rocketeers and this week's group is great! It's a family group and it's wonderful to have such a supportive group in camp!

Over the weekend we ran some guided trips for Moondance Adventures. Moondance is a great program that does wilderness adventures for teens, right up our alley! We took them out to the North Side and Nose area of Looking Glass and they had a great time, as did we! It was a large group but we had our guides Brian on Saturday and Marcus on Friday and they did a superb job as usual. The kids were complete troopers. On Saturday it started to rain a few hours into our climbing and instead of complaining, they were excited to climb in the rain! Everyone made it to the top of at least one climb, including the counselors! We have a few more guided trips set up for Moondance later on the month and we're looking forward to it. Well, that's it for now! We'll try to get some more pictures posted, but until then...

Live Free. Climb Hard.
