Youth reach new heights at Camp Dotzler


A third of the way up, Amy Wycoff, 11, hangs on
to one of the large beams, trying to decide if she
wanted to be lowered or continue climbing.


Brynn Ackerman, 11, spent most of her
morning learning how to be a belayer, the
one who controls the lifeline for the climbers
of the wooden tower at the Dotzler center.


For each climber, there must be a trained belayer, the one who controls the ropes attached to the
climber.


Gina Sauer, camp director, takes new kayakers out into Char-
lotte Harbor, teaching them forward and backward paddling,
along with maneuvering.
