At Camp ASCCA, our main mission is to give every camper the same opportunities no matter what their abilities are. Sometimes, this includes doing double rides with campers. This can most commonly be seen at either the zipline or tubing! This is such a special experience for both our campers and staff, and every time we do a double ride, our hearts get so full.
Zipline double rides are simple but still so fun! Our Adventure Specialist, Tre, will get harnessed up and go to the top of the platform. Whichever camper is riding will get harnessed as well and pulled to the top with Tre. Typically, whichever staff member is riding with the camper will hold the camper cradle style while riding down with them. Once the adventure staff on top of the platform gets them ready, they zip down the line!
For tubing, these double rides don’t happen often, but they are still an experience we offer! For this kind of double ride, the camper who is partaking in the double ride sits in the lap of a staff member. The camper is in the middle while two other staff members are on each side of them. Once everyone is ready, the tube takes off and pure joy can be seen on all the riders’ faces!
With every double ride comes new experiences and opportunities for campers. Having the opportunity to give these campers this option and make these memories is something you cannot find anywhere else! We are so grateful to be allowed to have the space to do this with these incredible people!
