The Evolution of COPE, Part V

It should be no surprise that COPE had become not only an incredibly strong program at Boxwell, but a cornerstone of the offerings at the reservation.  It seems only logical then that as COPE updated its course and the challenges presented there that the inherent fun of COPE expand outside the official COPE boundaries.

Completed before the start of spring 2013, the Boxwell Zipline was the not only the newest edition to the reservation, but a “teaser” of sorts to what COPE offered.  The zipline stretched through the forested area from the Health Lodge, down between Camp Parnell and the High Adventure Area (Camp Light), where COPE is located. The zipline though is not your typical one line stretch.  Instead it spans several platforms in the trees!

Built by former Boxwell COPE alumni, most notably Lance Ussery and Bo Collier, the Zipline demonstrates COPE’s ability to challenges Scouts to engage in new adventures!
