Summit Ropes is the largest indoor ropes course in the U.S. This one-of-a-kind indoor adventure park consists of 16,550 square feet of ropes course with integrated Via Ferrata climbing. Scouts will explore the advanced course, Zion Summit (this massive obstacle ropes course has over 120 different challenging elements and features both an upper and a lower level). Scouts wear a full-body climbing harness and utilize a smart belay system to ensure safety at all times on the course.

Scouts will head to Oakton for a service project after Summit Ropes, and camp overnight at BSA Camp Snyder at Haymarket. Scouts will return to St. Francis on Sunday morning after breakfast and Sunday service.

Scouts must be prepared for cold weather and should remember the potential need for layered, synthetic clothing when they pack. Rain gear and a warm sleeping bag are a must, as well as a change into warm dry clothes (no cotton) for sleeping, extra layers (no cotton) to add on, and extra pairs of dry socks. It will be cold in the evening.

There is a $60 fee for each scout and parent attending. Cost is $50 for each scout and parent if driving. Registration and payment are due by Thursday, February 20th.
