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 am grateful for the girls that Skeet, Sandy and Rue had as our counselors because of the character and leadership they taught me. I love them all. Many are my friends still and I cannot wait to see them again year after year. We are all grown, some mothers now, some in interesting careers, but all of us sharing one special thing in common -- outside of careers, husbands, family and schooling -- the RRR Spirit that endures in our everyday life.

I have said for years that RRR made me the person that I am today. Actually it wasn’t just RRR, but also the counselors that shaped my experiences and helped me be the best I could be. I learned to problem solve, lead others and to be a leader others wanted to follow. I learned to do my part and that I can do anything I decided to do. I learned to say 'I can' a lot more than 'I cannot.' I learned to co-exist with others which helps me to this day. As a young girl I learned what others around me now in their 30s still do not know. I learned to take care of and respect myself, respect others and the world around me.

I loved my counselors, I loved the river, and even learned how to sail on Canyon Lake. I still sing all the old camp songs that we sang every day after lunch to my little girl, who's five, every night before bed. I always end with, 'I love the mountains, I love the rolling hills ...' and then Taps.

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!

We still can't believe it has been 50 years since my mother, Mama Knolk, started RRR. We are so proud that it is still the same as she built it and still has the same spirit upon which it was founded. Our children and grandchildren have had the wonderful opportunity to attend camp and we all can still sing some of the songs when we get together. May the spirit of Mama Knolk stay with all that have attended RRR.

‒  Polly Knolk Denham

I think camp was very beneficial for my daughter last year. She came home with new experiences that she will never forget. It's something that she is able to share with her friends and schoolmates too. It made a huge impact on her and I hope by going again this year that she continues to grow and mature as a thoughtful young lady.
