Canoe

There does not have to be a lifeguard on duty to use canoes.

Camp fire
An evening fire sitting beside the beautiful Perquimans River or at our new prayer garden area located in the forest is always a great camp tradition. There will be a lot of fun with stories or devotions, or just cooking smores and possum tails. Most groups enjoy a camp fire any time of the year. Our staff will supply the fire wood, build the fire, and start it for you. You're left with wood to keep it going for the evening. The cost for a camp fire is $10.00 and as with all programming, should be scheduled ahead of arrival.

High Ropes Course
New to Cale in 2009, our high ropes course is an exciting adventure for guys or gals, young or old. You'll be harnessed in, safety cords attached, and helmet secure at Cale. After a brief introduction for final adjustments you'll be up the stairs and out on the course, walking the cables and balance beam, hopping along then swinging 20 feet off the ground. Before your feet get on solid ground you must walk the swinging bridge with no handrails and climb the net. Our high ropes course is a self challenging/ team building activity. The cost of this program is $8 per person. Minimum number of people needed for this program is 6. Standard time for this program can run from 1 to 2 hours per group.

The entire trail is approximately 2 miles although there are short cuts for those not looking for a nature hike marathon.

Swimming
Along with being a beautiful river, the Perquimans is also one of the cleanest rivers in the area. It is not uncommon to be able to view up to 6 feet into the water. The river bottom is a fine sandy surface; however, opened clam shells are very commonly found and stepped on. During Cale events, shoes are always required to go walking or swimming in the river. For more information on this, feel free to call the office for details. Except for baptisms, all groups that use the water to swim must have a currently certified Red Cross or YMCA lifeguard on duty at all times. This is strict insurance policy and no one is allowed in the water without a life guard. If you need a lifeguard, call about availability as we may be able to reserve you one. Cost for lifeguard is $12 per hour with a 3-hour minimum fee. Groups must call 2 weeks in advance if they want Cale to reserve them a life guard.
