High Ropes and Zip Line

The students aren't the only ones who get to have a pile of fun at Strathcona! Several staff members were lucky the other day and got the chance to do the High Ropes Course and Zip Line here at the Lodge.  With safety as the number one priority, we learnt how to correctly put on our harnesses and how to "double-clip".  Double-clipping means that at all times you have two carabiners clipped onto the safety cable, so that if you happened to slip on one of the challenges, you wouldn't fall.

It's very important to remember that for some people, heights are really scary! Here at Strathcona Park Lodge we promote the idea of "challenge by choice", which means that you decide how far to push yourself, and we let people know that they are in a safe environment. With the cheering and support of our two great instructors and lots of friends, everyone completed the entire course and took the plunge on our zip line! Everyone had a lot of fun and for some, it was a very big accomplishment. It feels great to conquer your fears!
