About this experience

This gives you access to all 6 Basecamp Adventures, including:

Aerial Challenge Course - Six segments and unique obstacles to conquer, set 35 ft above the ground.

Giant Swing - Takes an old playground staple and turns the “adventure dial” up to a 10! As many as three participants at a time don harnesses and are secured into the swing’s seat before being lifted 50 ft in the sky. Then it’s 3-2-1... GO! as you fly through the air- it will truly take your breath away.

Bungee Trampoline - Jump higher than ever before!

Rock Climbing Tower- The Tower’s six different climbing faces offer endless combinations of difficulty depending on the holds chosen.

Rappel Wall - Rappel 35 ft off the top of the tower – the confidence that comes from taking that brave first step is a feeling you’ll never forget.

Mega Jump -From a platform perched 35 ft high, you’ll take a leap off the side then experience a true “free fall” sensation before a controlled descent to the ground.
