Our Challenge Course boasts a climbing tower atop the Knoll with stunning views of Lake Winnipesaukee and the NH Lakes Region, a low ropes course to build team work skills, as well as a top-notch high ropes course. We built our whole challenge course ourselves so you won’t find anyone who knows their course like we do ours! Instructors have experience in other settings and attend training with organizations like Wingspeed Adventures, Project Adventure, and High5.
Our low ropes course features team-based challenges that build problem-solving skills, confidence, and cooperation—all with plenty of laughter along the way.
Take a leap from the Shiver Pole, battle the Gauntlet, or climb the Vertical Playpen — safely harnessed and guided by certified instructors. Our high ropes course delivers thrilling challenges that help boys push their limits.
Built by alumni staff and assessed by High5, our 50-foot climbing tower features three climbing routes and the best views in camp. Campers tackle each route and test their skills with timed climbs.
