Experience the largest adventure park in the U.S.! The Forge is right here in the South Suburbs, so let’s take advantage of this amazing place. This is an exclusive opportunity for you to climb and rappel the high ropes challenge tower with fellow Bridge students. There are 2 miles of zip lines and 300 high ropes elements. Cheer each other on as you dig into your adventurous and courageous spirit. BIG THANKS to The Forge for their generous hearts in donating this program! This is a super program, which means the duration is longer than usual. See below for more details.
