Zipline Attracts a Crowd :: Several Conquer The Tower Today

This video takes you through the ropes of guys and girls going up the tower and down the zipline. Yes, the staff got a workout today, but don’t worry. [...]

If you were there … how it sounds

Jayla took on the challenge of the  Zipline today.    All too often, I share the video, but not much of the ambient sound. So, today I thought I’d share just a glimpse of what it is like taking these children up into the tower and then off the Zipline. Just the video and audio … no [...]
