Giant Swing

Another addition to Waukeela's high-ropes course which combines teamwork and adrenaline.  This 40-foot element takes that extraordinary swinging experience and amplifies it in a way that any Waukeela girl can enjoy!  Once the swinging camper is harnessed in, the remaining girls on the ground will hoist her towards the main tree until she has reached her adventurous altitude, and then the fun begins.  The release string is pulled and it's as if you have just jumped off your swing in the playground, except rather than landing on the ground you get to rush back and forth for a long number of glorious minutes!

Any camper can enjoy and partake in this thrilling experience, even if tall heights create a pit in your stomach, because you choose your height.  It is the most accommodating adventure element that Waukeela has, and not only are you able to soar through the trees; you get to work those wilderness biceps!
