We welcomed Minneapolis South High School and held a day of Open Rock Climbing.
The 9th graders of Minneapolis South High School came for a Wednesday through Friday trip. While they were here, they were able to experience Archery, Earth Exploration, GPS Pathfinders, Root River Hike, Group Challenges, and Treetops.
On Saturday, the public was welcome to experience Open Rock Climbing.
