High Ropes Course & Zip Line $20

Participants on the high ropes course face an exhilarating experience where they are challenged physically, emotionally, and mentally with elements that require trust, problem solving, and group planning. The elements on the course take participants 15′, 25′, or 35′ into the air. Far from being an amusement park thrill ride, the high ropes course is designed to be a “teachable moment.” Individuals are not coerced into participation, but are encouraged to stretch themselves as much as they choose. Eagle Crest Adventures’ facilitators hail the smallest attempt by participants as a success.

Rock Climbing Wall $10

The climbing gym offers multiple lines and climbing paths with various degrees of difficulty. Other obstacles include The Centipede, Batman Rope, and Crate Stacking.

Will there be adult supervision at all times?

What if my student has dietary restrictions?
Lake Williamson serves a variety of foods at each meal and is experienced working with students to meet allergy and dietary restrictions. Please make sure to state that on the registration.

What if my student needs medications while at camp?
Our on site nurse is available to assist students with medication. Please include any medications or medical conditions on your registration.

What will my student do at camp?
Please see our schedule for activities and details.

Will there be medics onsite?
We will have nurses onsite.

What if my student has special needs?
Our hope is that all students have a true sense of belonging within our ONEYTH community and are able to attend camp. In order to best ensure the safety and fun of all our camp participants, we are asking parents to find a buddy for their student. A buddy is someone who will provide necessary assistance, in order for your student to attend camp. Our heart is for your student, with a desire that they have a safe, fun, and enhanced experience over the weekend.

How do I get merch for my student?
We will have merch available at the camp. Please send your student with money to be able to purchase there. Some items will be available for pre-order online.

What should my student pack for camp?
Please see list of what to bring.

Who do I contact if there’s an emergency at home?
Before the camp, ensure that you have your child’s location leader contact information to be able to connect if needed.
