COPE/CLIMBING PROGRAM
What is COPE? COPE stands for Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience. A COPE course is a custom build challenge course or ropes course designed to meet the needs of the Boy Scouts of America. Project COPE is an exciting outdoor activity for youth and adults who seek greater challenges to their physical and mental abilities. |
|
What is Climbing? Climbing is not a sport that requires a tremendous muscular strength, it demans mental toughness and the willingness to practice and to master a set of skills. The adventure of climbing can also provide a new way to enjoy the outdoors. |
