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

 

Oh how I wish I could still be a young girl and go to RRR every summer! I truly miss those wonderful weeks of absolute fun and excitement. This camp holds a very special place in my heart and will always throughout my life. I cannot wait until the day that my newborn little girl will be able to drive through the gate and live the summer days that not only her mother lived, but her grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother enjoyed. I cannot wait until the day that I can tell her all about her special great-great-grandmother (we called her GG, but most knew her as Mama Knolk) that opened beautiful Rocky River Ranch and created a place for many girls to create memories from. I am truly happy to see Mama Knolk's spirit still living on. May it continue to live on the dream that she always wanted.

Wow! I just spent ten amazing weeks at Rocky River. It was a great learning experience. My first job also! I had a wonderful time working with the counselors and the kids. I already miss it! I miss singing camp songs too!

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!

Mama Knolk — what a wonderful and gentle lady. She always wanted the best for us and for us to be our best.

‒  Jeanette Brian Lawrence Years at camp: 1960s

I loved performing on stage and modeling in the fashion show. I learned how to shoot a bow and arrow, and how to do synchronized swimming. I wrote a 'Snoopy' column for the newspaper. In fact, a lot of the things I loved then are things I still love today.

I would not be the person I have become today if it were not for Skeet and Sandy. One of the biggest lessons I ever learned in life was from Sandy — I fell off a horse and Sandy made me get right back on. I had no idea what impact that lesson would mean to my life, but I have to say it has become one of the most valuable.
