How many milk crates could you stack? One of the barn activities is stacking milk crates - while standing on them. You are in harness and being belayed. You continue to stack the crates and climb higher until you lose your balance and come down, the rope catching and lowering you safely.

This afternoon, students were able to try other activities in the barn. A popular one is the speleo box. It is a large wooden box that serves as a cave simulator.

Some even exit through the entrance. đŸ˜‚
