Yesterday, our Varsity scouts began their super activity for the summer. Camp Browning is located in a narrow canyon and provides the a great atmosphere for high adventure. As you can see, after taking a ride in the hot air balloon this past weekend, I thought that I would try something a bit more challenging. Yea, right! This camp is for the young men not old men like me. 
The repel was just the beginning of a three day high adventure outing. Repelling, rock climbing, COPE course, canoes, rifle range and shotguns just to name a few of the activities. Finally, for those brave enough and qualified to venture forth, the camp offered a 200 foot repel off a rock face above the lake. What a grand way to conclude the camp on the last day.
Trying to figure out what we wanted to do first out of all of the activities offered was probably one of the most difficult challenges we faced. The team members were excited to be challenged and to conquer the challenges presented and each could hold their heads high at what they had accomplished. 
Our campsite was secluded in the far reaches of the camp with plenty of trees and brush to provide cool shade in the afternoon. Our team quickly established camp and positioned their hammocks for maximum comfort and sleeping accomodations. Hopefully, nothing but clear skies for the next two nights. 
We pressed forward in accepting and conquering the challenges present. The aquatics activities presented the opportunity to cool down in the hot weather. A mere 34 degrees was the water tempature at 2:00 pm in the afternoon, which provided a cool and refreshing excursion along the lake front. High adventure is living the dream.
