SARGENT CAMP ADVENTURES

 Throughout the weekend of our gathering, Sargent Camp Staff will offer a variety of personal and group challenge opportunities for women to take part in. These adventures are led by fully trained and fully qualified individuals employed by Sargent Camp. Since Sargent Camp carries the liability insurance for these adventures, an additional fee is required.

 Group Challenge/High Ropes Course: Before climbing, on our high ropes course, we ask participants to be involved in a half-day of trust building activities.  Women will have the opportunity to get to know and trust each other through a variety of fun, active problem solving initiatives, and cooperative games.  After lunch, an instructional session teaches participants how to use the professional equipment and exercise safety procedures.  Women can then choose their own level of challenge from an exciting network of rope bridges and logs starting on the ground and ascending as high as 40 feet into the trees.  A truly challenging, rewarding experience demonstrating true teamwork, while boosting individual self-confidence!

Cliff Rappelling: This exciting activity is perfect for those looking to try something new and adventurous.  Our beautiful cliff site stands approximately 35 feet over the water, with wonderful views as you huddle along the tree line.  Participants will be given basic instructions on how to rappel and then have the chance to descend into a waiting canoe.  Standing on the edge, looking down at the water, is truly an experience in Life.

 Adventures for Children: Sargent Camp staff have prepared an entire day of adventure programs and activities for your children. A great day of relaxation for Moms, too! Sargent Camp must have a minimum of 10 participants – so bring your children’s friends too.

Bridge Zip: Jumping off a 50-foot bridge and zipping down a cable into the cool water of Halfmoon Pond is sure to get most women's heart pumping. It is a ride you will not forget!

 Orienteering:  A brief classroom preparation followed by a beginner level orienteering course.   Learn the map-reading skills necessary to navigate a pre-defined course around Sargent Camp.  Experience  the “thinking sport”.  Compasses will be provided!  

The Raptor:  Objective: The objective of this activity is to use a physical activity as a means to emphasize goal setting. The actual event is a combination (telephone) pole climb and trapeze or target jump. Individuals set a goal of getting part way or all the way up the pole, kneeling, sitting or standing on top and possible jumping toward a target if they are successful in standing on the top. Climbers wear full body harnesses and are belayed by fellow students. This is a very emotionally challenging event.
