BELAY ON!

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

Throughout the day, Belayers face a wide range of challenges, from meeting new people to climbing 40 feet high and leaping off a wooden pole (while wearing a helmet and being secured by a Belay team who will help them get to the ground safely!). They find themselves relying on their own personal strengths as well as those of others.

Below is a list of some of what Belayers should “bring with them” for a successful day (as shared by past participants):

Smarts!	Sharing
Communication – sharing ideas and listening to each other	Cheering!
Cheering!	Cooperation
Strategizing	Balance
Strength – physical and mental	Participation
	Determination

Belayers should also:

• Wear comfortable, athletic clothes (sneakers or hiking boots are a must!)
• Dress for the weather – On Belay happens rain or shine (unless conditions are unsafe)!!

We will provide:

• A light breakfast in the morning (water, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, muffins, brownies, etc.)
• Water and an On Belay water bottle to take home with you!
• Lunch (sandwiches, fruit, chips, cookies, juice)
• Snacks for breaks throughout the day (fruit, chips, cookies, brownies)
• Helmets, harnesses, and all materials needed for activities
