Zip Line Excitement

The newest thing at the camp right now is the zip line.  This was initiated as an Eagle Scout project by one of our long time campers, Tobin Tarantowski and his family...and has now become one of the newest attractions at SBC.   Still in the midst of working out the dismount bugs...as I write this blog entry...but, hopefully in the near future we will be up and running for a summer's worth of zip lining here at camp.  
Here is a youtube video of Emily and Caleb from this past week, and Emily's first time to try the zip line, which was also historical, as it was also our first injuries...as Emily provided us with some good input on some possible ways people can hurt themselves on the zip line.   She held onto the wire cable at take-off, which scraped and cut her hand, and then on the second trip down she banged into the railing on the launch platform. (sorry you had to be a guinea pig here Em, but we did appreciate the pointing out of possible future problems!)
Here is one of her rides down the zip line:   Emily's historic zip line run
