At Ropes today, the campers had a chance to fly around on the Flying Squirrel.
For this Ropes activity, the group is split into a single flyer and a pull group. The flyer is strapped into a hanging rope while the pull group grabs the other side of the rope and pulleys the flyer up.
As the pull group starts to walk away from the flyer, the flyer gets lifted into the air and swings between the trees like a "flying squirrel".
Each camper has a chance to fly and, as they each go up, the laughs and excitement are felt on the ground below them. Swinging around in the air is one of the experiences many of the older campers enjoy having while at Congo Camp!
