This is 50💪

The High Ropes Course at Center Lake Bible Camp is my JAM! I don’t know if I’m good at it, or if there’s such a thing as being good at it, but I know I love it. I love the challenge, I love how the only choice I have is to push myself to finish each element I start.

I’ve been going to this Women’s Retreat at Center Lake Bible Camp for 20+ years. Josh was really young the first time I tried the High Ropes Course. We really didn’t know what the severity of his Autism would be, and way back then I imagined this would be something we could do together, since he liked to climb so much. After my first time, my imaginings of doing this with Josh flew out the window, but I was HOOKED.

My favorite element is the cargo net. It hurts your hands, and it’s the hardest. I think the reason I love it this much is because it’s so challenging. The feeling of accomplishment is so great when I make it across- way more than any of the other elements.

So this is me, at 50, continuing to challenge myself with the High Ropes Course. I don’t want to think about a day when I will no longer be able to handle it. For now I’ll just bask in the glow of knowing I can still do it, and look forward to the challenge next year!
