Mid April Opening

Our new Zipline Canopy Tour is set to open mid-April at Asbury Hills! This amazing tour will be available for our guests ages 11 and up - including our retreat groups, leadership teams and summer campers. For those groups already on retreat at Asbury Hills, the cost for the tour is only $39 per person. For those groups that want to come to do only the tour, the cost is $49 per person. To add this amazing adventure to your group's retreat or to bring your group for some time zipping through the trees, contact Sarah at 864.458.2071 or info@sccampsandretreat.org.

Almost ready!!








The course is almost ready! The top picture shows the first zip (with a board in place for security when the course is not being used). The other pictures give a feel of the course layout and platforms. We have realized how hard it is to capture the course under construction. Soon we will have training for our staff and provide some great pictures of the course in use - and some video too!

Launch!




The tour will start from the ground level with this small platform for the launch. You can see the first zip line and the second platform on the next tree. It seems so simple when it starts, but very soon you will be many feet up in a tree looking down on the forest!!

Platform building continues



Workers are building the decking on a platform. Construction is progressing quickly!

The bridge


Two of the trees are close together, so we needed to build a bridge to walk across before resuming the next zip. This pictures shows the bridge.
