Thank you to North Sky Drones for this fantastic movie!

Outdoor/indoor adventure & challenge Courses

The Bedford YMCA ropes courses are one of the best kept secrets in Bedford County. Bedford YMCA Summer Camps, the Bedford YMCA Day Services Program participants, Bedford YMCA soccer teams, and Bedford County students have all enjoyed the elements. Exciting staff trainings have been held on the high ropes and challenge courses. A lot of children have had really cool birthday parties using the high ropes course. Plus our YMCA staff have even traveled to businesses to put their employees through a group initiative course on site! Rates are simple : just $25 per hour/per staff member/per element! Custom rates for groups are available.
