Every day you could choose
from many activities, including
waterskiing, canoeing, sailing,
sports, mountain biking, horse
back riding, swimming, archery,
hiking, arts and crafts, and high
rope’s course, and the brand new
climbing and rappelling tower.
The high rope’s course is also
made up of obstacles, also 40 feet
in the air. The campers were
strapped in a harness and sent to
their first obstacle, diming %
tree. From there you went to the
“multi vine,” the “Burma Bridge,”
the “catwalk,” and the “zip line.”
The tower is a 40-foot high obsta
cle that tampers must climb up
using molds to grab on to. When
they reach the top of the tower,
they must rappel down it. The
tower was built this year in mem
ory of John S. Gold, a former
member of the New York State
FFA.
During the afternoons, campers
could participate in leadership
contests. Natalie Jensen (Penn
Yan FFA treasurer) competed in
the creed speaking contest, in
which she tied for first place, and
the extemporaneous speaking
contest, in which she also received
first place. Dawn Smart competed
in the creed speaking contest and
tied for first place.
