5th/6th Retreat

At about 8:15 we got on the bus for an hour to Lake Geneva Canopy Tours Zip Lining. The first things we saw when we got there were 2 contemporary lodges and a 1220 foot Zipline that was 3 stories high or 60 feet high. From 9:30 to 12:00 we were split into 2 groups and about 3 teachers per group. One of the activities we tried to do was there were 2 strings and 2 people and we had to attempt to get them free without breaking them. Another activity was when we had to jump across a certain amount of space with a rope and we couldn’t touch the ground while landing on the log. At 12:00 we ate lunch and at 12:30 we had a talk about the expectations and then we got our gear on! We were split into 3 groups (I was in group one) and took a tractor with a trailer on the back to the zip line area. Before the ziplines, we had to practice taking off and on the hooks and braking. The first couple of zip lines were 50 feet then it went to 100 then to 120 and then was the jumbo big one. I am afraid of heights and falling so I had a little bit of anxiety but went for it and it was so fun and regret not wanting to go! I had so much fun with our guides, teachers and classmates and thank you so much LGCT for having us!
