>The Senores group was big. When it was time for the Senores to be on deck, the staff said that the Senores had to stay in their seats because "we need an audience." :-)

This was the case for our week as well - they filled the stage 3-deep!

Dead-on. During our week they filled both and had a waiting list.

This was my wife's favorite activities from 2000 and this year she
signed up again. She loved the zip line as well, but due to the fact
that the LJ's (Los Jovene's, which was a huge group our week) were also
there, they switched over to the Confidence Pole. The confidence pole
is a 20 foot telephone pole that you climb to the top and perch before
leaping off with the dog-team on the rope rig to catch ya. Exhilirating
in a completely different way than the zip line - it truly does instill
confidence. The attendence on this years COPE outings were lower than
the last time, but part of that is due to the fact that the last time
was a Cub Scout week, and this time it was Council services - an older
crowd generally, with fewer interested in Crazy Old People Exercising stuff.
>As we left, I asked my wife if she wants to go again.
>Her face lit up and she enthusiastically responded immediately "YES!"

This isn't even a question for us - her question was when can we come
again !
