Teton High Adventure Base, Great Salt Lake Council, near Hoback Junction, WY Teton High Adventure Base is unique among the camps we visited this summer in that no merit badges are offered and only one planned activity takes place on the camp property—a C.O.P.E. course. The course is one of the most popular activities that Scouts participate in at the high adventure base and is a superb method of building teamwork and accepting and completing personal challenges. Scouts traversing the high course and finishing with the zip line are met with a bucket of water, perhaps two, as a reward for completion. Typically, units spend three action-packed days at various activities such as rafting, canoeing, mountain climbing, pistol shooting at a nearby range, and horseback riding, and still somehow the boys have enough energy for horseshoes, basketball, Frisbee golf, football, and baseball on the property's sports field until well after dusk. We enjoyed our visit to Teton High Adventure Base and only wish that we had been able to participate in and photograph more of the activities that are offered; however, so much goes on at and around the base that it would take a single photographer weeks to capture images of it all. The base provides a remarkably comfortable respite from a day's high adventure, even offering – hold on to your hats – a Jacuzzi! The dining hall fills to capacity quickly, and consequently breakfast is a long affair with hungry diners entering through one door and satisfied diners exiting through another for quite some time. Fortunately, no one really seems to mind, given the dining hall's proximity to the quickly moving river nearby and the dramatic mountain views visible at every angle. |
