ADVENTURE CHALLENGE ACTIVITIES

ADVENTURE CHALLENGE ACTIVITIES
Climbing Wall | Screamer | Rappelling | Crate Stacking

Rocky River Ranch’s challenge elements include a 40-foot climbing tower, 25-foot natural rappelling cliff, and giant swing (aka The Screamer). These activities allow campers to experience both the challenge and success of high ropes courses. 

Our challengers classes run on with the 'challenge by choice' philosophy. This gives campers a safe and structured way to push their comfort zone and experience a new skill, while allowing them to have control of if they participate, how high they want to climb, and most importantly when they want to stop. This class not only emphasizes participation, but also team work and supporting each other.

This class is limited to those campers who are in 5th grade or older and require harnesses and helmets (provided by camp). Please read the legal information concerning the adventure classes carefully and sign the appropriate "Challengers" permission form online if your camper may take one of these classes.

Rocky River Ranch experience

 

I honestly believe that I wouldn't be the same person if not for my many years at Rocky River, and each year that passes makes me more aware of the grace I found here and the gift of the chance to become one of the few ... a Rocky River girl. To the land of the triple R, I pledge my heart to you!

Picture a Spot … My years at Rocky River mean more to me than can be written down in a little note. There's probably not a day that goes by that I don't think about an experience, a laugh, a friendship, a struggle, a success, etc. that I experienced at camp. I love that I can go back and find the same "safe haven" that I experienced as a 7-year-old girl in Circle B through several years as a Counselor! Driving across that cattle guard at the front gate, my heart beat calms to a familiar and comforting beat again, like nothing else I've experienced.

RRR is not just two months of SCREAMING prepubescent girls singing songs in the Grubstake, Free Swim at the river or raids on other cabins, it becomes a way of life that helps guide you through the rest of your life. Not unlike the Marines who are brothers for life, those of us who were campers and counselors are sisters for life and will do anything to help each other, no questions asked!

I’ve told my family that if I’m ever missing, can’t take the real world, think I need to drive away, they will find me at Rocky River Ranch. I’m now 41 years old, a mother of two and every time I turn down Flite Acres Road it is like going home and it makes me cry because I am so happy to be there. I had seven glorious summers at camp and I cherish every memory I carry with me.

Rocky River Ranch is like my second home. It is such a comfortable, fun place to be! I am planning to be here as long as possible, and want my future daughters and granddaughters to experience this camp. Rocky River has a special place in my heart, and is a big part of my life.

‒  Molly Morgan Years at camp: 2001-2005

Rocky River was a HUGE part of my childhood and I cherish all of the wonderful memories I have. Sandy, Skeet, Jim, Rue, Arthur — y'all were the best extended family a kid could ever ask for. My favorite cabin, Bar K, holds fond memories as well. The stories I have would take days to repeat and the friendships I made were oh so REAL!
