Camp Clarendon for kids and other afficionados of fun:
Bungy Trampoline Jump - A four-person bungee trampoline. Originally designed and patented by Olympic ski trainer, Mr. Frank Bare II. Each participant is secured into a 3-point harness in his own jumping station. Multiple bungee cords are attached to the harness, which gives jumpers a "super boost" into the air, allowing them to perform aerial maneuvers without the risks of bungee jumping. The design gives each participant his own jumping space -- no collisions. Multiple people can jump at once, both children and adults, creating a memorable family experience (and great photo opportunity).
Jungle Climb - A unique twist on the climbing wall. With the help of an auto-belay system, adventurers can scale two 26 foot palm trees, just like a real islander.
