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

 

RRR gives young women the chance to excel in areas where they may not have ever had a chance to before … and an opportunity to gain self esteem and confidence. These are such amazing and important gifts that will stay with campers their entire lives. This is why RRR will forever be a "home" to its campers. A place where they feel accepted, and loved and special.

My years at Rocky River were some of the most wonderful times in my life. My sister (Laura) and I still spend hours talking about our fun times there. We still remember our days of swimming in the river, riding horses and water skiing. I can't wait until my little girl can experience all the joy and fun I had as a child for herself.

Rocky River Ranch is like my second home. It is such a comfortable, fun place to be! I am planning to be here as long as possible, and want my future daughters and granddaughters to experience this camp. Rocky River has a special place in my heart, and is a big part of my life.

‒  Molly Morgan Years at camp: 2001-2005

RRR is not just two months of SCREAMING prepubescent girls singing songs in the Grubstake, Free Swim at the river or raids on other cabins, it becomes a way of life that helps guide you through the rest of your life. Not unlike the Marines who are brothers for life, those of us who were campers and counselors are sisters for life and will do anything to help each other, no questions asked!

‒  Lezli Smith Giancarlo Years at camp: 1981-1989

I’ve told my family that if I’m ever missing, can’t take the real world, think I need to drive away, they will find me at Rocky River Ranch. I’m now 41 years old, a mother of two and every time I turn down Flite Acres Road it is like going home and it makes me cry because I am so happy to be there. I had seven glorious summers at camp and I cherish every memory I carry with me.

‒  Jonica Crosby Cason Years at camp: 1977-1983

I had a wonderful experience of being a counselor at RRR 1960-61 and 1966-67. Those first 2 years I knew and loved both Mama Knolk and Jane. Later, I was there with Skeet and Sandy. I have great memories of all those special people and all the fun times at camp. I'm so glad the camp is still going strong!
