Low/High Ropes Course

What to Wear during the High/Low Ropes Teambuilding Program
General recommendation is to wear comfortable, slightly loose-fitting clothing that enables you to move freely. The ropes course is located in the woods and accessed by a short hike on maintained trails.


‘DO’s’
Sturdy sneakers/hiking shoes ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED. NO Sandals or Flip flops.
(socks also!)
Long pants – Khaki or denim/jeans. Shorts are OK if it’s really hot out
t-shirt or long sleeve shirt. Tank tops are OK also, but bring a t-shirt to layer over just in case!
If it looks like rain, bring raincoat or Gore-Tex jacket.
Bug repellent is available at the camp, however you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer.
Water Bottle
Put on your Sunscreen
Energy bar if you think you may get hungry (its a 4 hour program). Lunch will be provided after the conclusion of the program.
If you have a medical condition, allergy, or are not feeling well on the day of the program, please advise the group leader!
Bring a camera to get great pictures of you and your friends!
Most importantly… bring a positive, ‘Can-do’ attitude! It’s contagious!!


‘DON’TS’
NO Flip-flops, sandals, slippers, boots or shoes with heels. For safety reasons, people wearing inappropriate footwear will not be allowed to participate in the Ropes Program.
If you have long hair, bring something to tie it back with
Don’t wear dangling earrings, loose bracelets, watches, long necklaces.
Try not to wear cotton clothing if the weather looks rainy, because it gets wet, does not dry quickly, and you will feel clammy and gross!
NO cell phones, iPods, hand-held games, etc are permitted on the course, You wlll have no use for them, and there is a good chance that the devices could get dropped, damaged or lost during the program.

 

 

 

A complete list of things to bring for the rest of Mentor Training will be posted shortly!!

TYE DYE!!

Hello Mentors!

As most of you may know during Mentor Training Week, we will be going on a camping trip to Camp Epworth. It is a mentor tradition that on the first day we all wear Tye Dye shirts.

Please bring a white t-shirt to be Tye Dyed on our first night of training!

Also keep checking the blog this upcoming week for a lot of training information!!
