Mt. Wood is one of the biggest and most unique camp climbing towers in the country. Campers can learn rock climbing skills on climbs of various difficulties. Beginners can try the easiest 20 foot routes while the most fit and skilled climbers are challenged by the 43 foot summit climb. Of course climbing harnesses, helmets and belay (safety) line systems are always used only under the close supervision of trained Tecumseh climbing staff.
Inside Mt. Wood is a 30 foot high spiral stairway that takes those with enough courage to the zipline platform. This cave-like opening in Mt. Woods surface is the take off point for a 300 foot pulse pounding zip! You can hear the screams and laughter all across camp as the ‘zippers’ take the plunge off the 25 foot platform!
Inside the Mt Wood complex is a creative ‘bouldering wall’ where campers can practice their climbing moves and build up their stamina---perhaps to eventually try the summit climb!
