Reaching new heights at ALPs Playdate! ALPs hosted our annual Playdate, where participants could sign up to challenge themselves on our ropes course. There were smiles, laughter and the occasional scream as people stepped outside of their comfort zones 40 feet in the air, into their growth zones. Come sign up for a workshop if you enjoyed your experience or would like to try it for the first time!
