Troop and Small group offerings:

Dynamic Course

The dynamic course is the highest section of the ropes course, towering up to 65 feet in the air and extended between Redwoods. It is most similar in style to rock climbing, but utilizes the natural redwood trees. It has multiple routes for varying challenges and preferences of climbing. Participants are belayed by a facilitator and choose their own level of challenge while they climb the trees. This is our most popular offering for all skill levels.

  • 2-hour session
  • 10:00-12:00 or 1:00-3:00
  • 18 participant max
  • $800

Zipline

Climb up to the 45 foot tall zipline platform via our enclosed cargo net. Catch your breath and enjoy the view before stepping off and taking a short ride on the zipline through the trees. This is an introductory challenge course experience, best for participants that are new to stepping outside their comfort zone.

  • Participants should expect to zipline one time during a 2 hour session.

· This option is for Girl Scout Service Units that want to give their members a taste of high adventure on the Dynamic Course.

If you would like this option please email registration@gsnorcal.org.
