Head of School Paul Stellato joined Parents Association President Lynn Lien and President-Elect Gina Goldberg, and Coach Jill Thomas to cut the ribbon on the brand new ropes course at Princeton Day School.
The original ropes course on campus, a very popular destination for PDS students and Summer Programs campers, was virtually decimated as a result of Hurricane Sandy. Through the generosity of the Parents Association, funds were raised to build a new course in a new location: the ravine between the lower gym and the Pagoda fields.
Though the new course features all of the same elements in the original course (both courses were built by High 5 Adventure Learning Center), the new course is spread out a bit more allowing for more space to climb, and an additional island. Coach Thomas explained that the course is used by Upper School students as a PE course, for Summer Programs campers in grades 3 to 12, and occasionally for faculty in-service. In announcing the news of the new ropes course, Coach Thomas remarked simply, “It’s awesome!”
