Wisp Resort adds 3 new little-kid-friendly adventures for summer 2011!

Wisp Resort is adding three new adventures to the Adventure Park this summer creating a kid-friendly area for children ages 2 and up.  The Chipmunk Challenge Course, the Squirrels Den and Marsh Mountain Mining Company are designed to give children an adventure all their own at Wisp Resort.

Chipmunk Challenge Course

The new Chipmunk Challenge Course is a canopy tour intended to test children’s athletic prowess and skills while creating an educational atmosphere.  Built for children ages 4 and up weighing at least 40 pounds, the Chipmunk Challenge Course is a continuous belay system covering over 500 feet of cable featuring 2 zips and 6 obstacles along the way.  Participants will be fitted with a harness and helmet before they begin with a small stair climb to the ‘Staging Area’ where they will be clipped into the Saferoller® belay system.  The first challenge is the Spider Web, a 30 ft long net that participants will creep across to get to the Rickety Bridge.  Once across the 30 ft long bridge, adventurers will encounter the Tarzan Vine Walk, a log walk with hanging vines (or ropes) overhead.  Next is a 60 ft zip that will carry participants to the Taco Net.  After navigating the net, guests will be perched at the highest point of the challenge course with views of Deep Creek Lake and the ideal set up for the second zip of the course.  A plunge across 200 ft of cable will deliver guests to the Log Jam, a set of stairs down a log.  The final feature, Newton’s Cradle, is a series of hanging and swinging platforms that one must navigate to get back to the Staging Area.
