FREE BSA Ropes Course | Ogden | Adevnturin' | r.a.m.p.

We tried out the BSA Rope Course last weekend for our free R.A.M.P. adventure in Weber county.

If you don't know what R.A.M.P. is, check out our post HERE.

We went around 11 and there was never more than one person ahead of us for each challenge. 

Dan and I tried climbing a telephone pole and jumping off. I'm not going to lie, it was pretty scary.

To free fall jump with nothing to hold onto takes guts. 

While we were doing our thing, the kids waited in line to rock climb. The BSA staff was very helpful and got they kids in the harness and helmets.

The kids(4-10yrs) got to go up twice before they had to go back and get in line again. 

They were able to climb several times while we were there.

I'm 5'2", so it was a bit of a stretch to climb some of the courses. Definitely a workout, but way fun.

Kids over 12 and adults can do the rope and climbing courses. There were 4 open the day we were there.

Locke and Riz's shirts are from Brassy Apple's T-shirt line! She's a local blogger, check it out!

Kids under 12 can rock climb, but you have to be over 40 lbs. Riz and Ela (4yrs) were not quite heavy enough, so they needed a parent to assist. 

Once they go to arms length, we had to pull them back down, otherwise we would have had to climb up and retrieve them.

The kids loved and we loved it! Win for the whole family!

 

We will definitely be back again on the next R.A.M.P. day.

Stephanie's shirt is from this Etsy shop, because you know us, we love UTAH.

It's nice to know this place actually exists, but when I search via maps or google map I get a nice random street with nothing there. Is this place at the same location at the Trapper Trails Council/Store Location?
