Our Zip Line (foefie slide for the South Africans) is awesome. We are on a platform 10meters above and over the water and the ride is approximately 100 meters long. Once the campers have enjoyed a ride or two the daredevil in them emerges and we have them dropping three quarters of the way down or even after just riding for about 5 meter. We have a few flops with sore bums or arms if you extend parts of the body but they keep coming back for more. This is not an exercise for weenies. I really encourage all to go down the ride as I think this is such an awesome accomplishment for those that are a bit afraid of heights and also the guys that are over cautious sometimes. It is a great confidence booster. Our campers that have been with us this from Monday week were so tired last night that there was not a sound after 9:15. At least we also had a good sleep and are ready to tackle the day with them again.
I just have to tell you how tired they are. One of the boys was asked if he had showered yet this week. He paused a moment, had to think another moment, scratched is head and answered “I am not sure but I don’t think so” They might be smelly but we absolutely love having them here, they are a real enjoyment.
Check out this photo of one of our campers last week – some good photography don’t you think.
