Besides the fact that it is just a lot of fun, the Zip Line Canopy Tour takes Teambuilding to the next level (literally). The course is designed to work with a small group of people (up to 10 persons per group) and create a shared experience that they will remember for a lifetime. Participants will also be challenged to push past fears, help each other, and encourage each other through the course, leading to a sense of camaraderie throughout the event.

1. Safety First
   • "Dialed In" Gravity stops on every zip line: This means you don't have to worry about braking to stop. The course is precision engineered to slow you down at the right time.
   • Double Redundancy: Every strategic piece of equipment on the course has a "back up" directly on line as double security.
2. No Tipping Policy
   • There will be 2 guides with your group for the duration of the event and you can expect that they will be extremely professional and safety conscious. They will take good care of your group through the experience, and you don't have to pay extra for that :)

The Canopy Tour described here is located at Refreshing Mountain Camp (RMC). RMC is located in Northern Lancaster County, PA. We are approx 1 hour from Harrisburg and Philadelphia, and approx 2-3 hours from NYC, Baltimore, and Washington DC.

If the idea of flying through the trees like a bird sounds fun to you, then this experience is not to be missed. Participants should plan to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to their scheduled start time. This will allow for the introduction to the guides, general discussion on the activity, completing paperwork, etc.

The first zip line starts close to the ground (up a flight of steps to the platform) and "flies" you into the trees and to our High Ropes Course. At this point you will be about 30' above ground and you will walk the 70' "cat walk" to the next platform. Once you reach the third platform, you will be about 45' off the ground and you will then continue the canopy tour for the duration of the event. The fourth and fifth platforms are each 55-60' above the ground. The sixth and final platform is "nestled" within an expansive red oak tree. You will end the tour with a zip line over 400' long, across a pond, and safely back to the ground, close to where you started (no long walk back to where your car is parked).

The scenery from the platforms is truly magnificent. There are over 20 varieties of trees to be identified on the course of the tour, not to mention the wildlife you may spot. Our guides may point out various points of interest from each platform, and the aerial view provides an unparalleled perspective of the beautiful woodscape. A great discussion topic during the tour can be how your angle of perspective changes your perception. This is true physically, and can also be applied to other aspects of life as well.

Participants do need to be reasonably fit to participate, by nature of the event. Please see the Release Form for more details on this, but in general participants should be able to carry 20-30 lbs of weight without difficulty, climb a flight of stairs, stand without need for assistance, and walk over uneven terrain up and down a moderate slope.

If you have a physical impairment that prohibits walking/standing but are interested in this type of adventure activity, feel free to contact RMC as we also have other activities that we can offer which may be of interest to you.

Contact Refreshing Mountain Camp at 1-888-353-1490. We will need to know:

• What date(s)/time(s) you are interested in
• How many people to expect (this can be approximate to start, but will need to be finalized before your arrival)
• Do you have interest in adding any other activities to your event (i.e. Climbing Tower, High Ropes, Giant Swing, etc)?
• Your credit card information will be required to finalize the reservation (a 25% deposit will be billed to the card, with the balance due on the day of the event).

Yes, as long as you can secure it to your wrist. We do not necessarily recommend doing so since there is a possibility that it could be damaged on the tour, so if you choose to do so, it is at your own risk. It is essential that it can be secured to your person for the tour.

In cases where the weather does not allow for the event to proceed and/or complete, the deposit will be refunded and it will be your option as to whether or not to re-book. For all other instances of cancellation, the 25% deposit in non-refundable. If the event is cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, the full value of the event will be billed. It should also be noted that RMC reserves the right to cancel events without notice for any safety related concern. In such an occurrence, any funds paid toward the event would be refunded, including deposit.

In this situation, you will be billed for the full event, however, you do not need to finish the tour. The course is "Challenge By Choice" so if you feel that you cannot continue, our tour guides will be able to belay you to the ground from any of the platforms on the course. You will then need to walk from that point, back to the starting point.

Yes, Refreshing Mountain Camp offers an array of other activity options including High Ropes, Climbing Tower, Giant Swing, Giant Ladder, Low Ropes, Archery, Paintball Obstacle Course, and more. If you want to participate in any of these activities while you are on site, they are easily added to your itinerary. Just talk about these details with our sales team when making your reservation.
