leap of faith

Leap of Faith

The newest and quite possibly the boldest activity here at Waukeela can also be referred to as the Pamper Pole. This popular alias becomes crystal clear once your feet make it to the top of the narrow, 60-foot telephone pole and you are among the many pine trees trying not to look below!

The adventure begins once you are safely in your full-body harness and your feet make contact with those sturdy, steel pegs that will lead you towards the top. While the climb is less vigorous than with the Zip Line, making it to the tippity-top is a much more daring feat and, depending on your shoe size, fitting both feet on the top can be an adventure in itself.  If you can make it up the bare pole that seems to sway with the trees, your next audacious task is to take that "leap of faith" toward the dangling trapeze bar that is five feet from your apprehensive grasp!

These three missions, the climb - the balancing act - and the leap, make this activity a thrilling escapade for all those courageous Waukeela girls!
