Activities for Group Retreats

High Ropes Activities

Joy El offers several exciting options involving rope apparatus!  Choose from the Double Zip Line, 40 foot Climbing Wall, Giant Swing or Flying Squirrel.

• Double Zip Line (all ages)
• Giant Swing (ages 12 and up) – the excitement you remember swinging at the playground but on a much bigger level!  Requires a team effort – great for team building!
• Challenge Course (all ages) – This 13 part course is designed for team building!  From the spiderweb to the “Peanut Butter Pit,” this course is fun for all ages but a challenge as well!

• Cargo Net Climb
• 40 Foot Climbing Wall (all ages)
• Flying Squirrel (all ages) – Built from the same apparatus as the Giant Swing.  A great activity for younger campers. Also requires a group. Teach your students to work together!
