The High Adventure Interest Project Patch

 

Each class is limited to 24 participants.  Programs begin at 9:15 AM and conclude about 2:00 PM .This program begins with a two hour review of the knowledge requirements.  After a 30 minute lunch break the remainder of the time is spent climbing and rappelling.  All instructors for this badge have been certified by the Boy Scouts of America  "climb on safely" program.  All equipment is supplied by Laurel Caverns and no experience is necessary.  Proper dress involves jeans, long sleeve shirt and shoes with a good climbing tread.  No loose fitting clothing should be worn and long hair must be able to be secured tightly under our helmets.  A failure to follow instructions can result in serious injuries; thus, participants and their parents must sign a release form.  Click here for release form. The patch is given at the end of the program and included in the cost.  Cost: Participants $43 each, Observers $9 each.  PLEASE NOTE: due to high demand and limited capacity for this badge, reservation cancellations must be made at least two weeks prior to the reserved date to qualify for a refund.
