Group 2 - Abseil / Zip Wire / High Ropes

Group 2 were creating cliffhangers with their first activity experiences this afternoon. First up was abseiling, followed by the zip wire. A lot of confidence was needed early in our Pioneer Centre experiences with high rope courses. It was good for some children to put some early phantoms and fears to rest, as we learnt to trust the harnesses and instructors. 

It was pleasing to see that several children in the group worked hard to stretch the boundaries of what they thought they could achieve. Pushing themselves to step up beyond the targets they set for themselves.

This attitude of self-challenge was demonstrated even more on the High Ropes course. Children scrambled up the course in record time and had some dramatic drop zone or 'leap of faith' moments! We even had a bonus tower building challenge to see how high the group could make a crate tower to stand on... before a little deconstruction in an Angry Birds style!
