We Survived the Zipline Adventure! Thirty-three brave souls went to Camp Kern's Zipline Adventure, September 19, 2009. There were 7 towers to zip from platform to platform and 3 swinging bridges to cross before getting back to base camp. The first zip was the most unnerving! After climbing several flights of stairs, we had no idea what to expect. We were tethered to the cables, told to stand at the edge of the platform, "bend your knees like sitting in a chair", and away we went! Many of us had shaking knees and sweaty palms at first. |

110 people attended the Kick-Off Picnic on Aug. 1. Lee Gulley did a great job chairing the event with lots of help from many volunteers. A huge thank you goes to our hostess Kathy McKee for opening up her beautiful home for our party. The yard, pool and deck were so lovely and the weather cooperated to make the picnic a great success. Our trip leaders got to showcase their upcoming Ski Trips. Many members took the opportunity to renew their memberships for 09-10 and we welcomed some new members to the club. So many members came forward to help with shopping, set up, cooking, front desk., take down and clean up it was amazing. |

Why ski club trips are better than "Do it Yourself" (DiY) trips Simply put, the benefits of club trips are not often quantifiable. Not everything in life comes down to dollars and cents. The DSBC has worked hard this year to provide a number of exciting trips to the membership. Have a look and see which adventure you would like to add to your winter fun this year! |
