Full Answer

Static Tower

The Static tower is made up of four 50ft poles connected by different activities including a cargo net, swinging tires, ladders and rope swings on three different levels. Even the most adventurous of people will find a challenge here. A simple element like a cargo net gets a whole different perspective at 40' in the air!

Leap of Faith

This is one of our favorite activities. The hardest part is the last step up! From the top you can check out the amazing view and gather yourself before making the ‘leap’. When you are ready, reach for the trapeze bar that hangs just a few feet away!

Zip Line

Our 600ft long zip line through the trees is great fun for all ages! For even more fun, ride the full circuit of the zip line canopy tour at our ropes course in Frederick Maryland. Adventure awaits you in the tree tops as you zip and traverse between the canopy.

Obstacle Course

Our Obstacle Course includes a variety of low activities including the swinging step and commando crawl and ‘A’ frame cargo net. Great activities to get the day started for any type of group team building.
