    One of the things that I love about my children is that they are so much braver than I ever was as…read morea child. I stand in awe at the risks they are willing to take. Even though the things they do make my hands sweaty, I don't want to stifle their spirit or curiosity, so we often do adventurous things that I would never do when I was a young girl. One of those things was going on a zipline canopy tour in Bruceton Mills, West Virginia. You're probably thinking, "That's nothing! Ziplining is perfectly safe!" And I'm sure it is, somewhat. But sometimes, I'm still that timid little girl who is afraid to get hurt. And I try to avoid doing anything that requires me to sign a waiver, wear a helmet, be strapped in by trained personnel, be high up off the ground, etc. So, yes, I was being a good mom and taking my kids to do adventurous things, but I let them have all of the adventure while I waited safely on the ground. Kids can zipline and traverse the canopy tour by themselves as long as they weigh at least 70 pounds. They also have to be able to make it the whole two hours of the tour. When we visited, it was very cold, and even colder once you get high up in the trees. If you visit on a cold day, bring some thin gloves and a beanie! The people who do the tours are students at West Virginia University. The three students we encountered on our tour were super knowledgeable and good with kids. They made sure my kids had all of their safety gear on correctly, showed them the basics, made sure they understood how to zipline safely, showed them what to do if they got stuck in the middle of a zipline (ay, dios mio!) and checked in with them throughout the tour. I felt like safety was of the utmost importance to them, which I appreciated. The canopy tour consisted of four zip-lines, seven platforms up in the trees, an aerial bridge, aerial ladder and a rappel station to exit the course. It was a fun time! No one died or fell and became paralyzed. (I mean, what kind of paranoid sicko would even think that sort of thing?!) The only thing I would do differently is visit on a warmer day. At the end, my oldest child said he couldn't feel his fingers and he was actively shivering. So, visiting on a warm day would probably make the experience a lot more enjoyable.

    My family and I ziplined here today. It is a first class operation all the way! The guides are…read moreprofessional and informative. The course is great. Before we embarked on the ziplines, we did a small, low-to-the-ground practice course. The guides made sure we all knew their hand signals and how to brake. Then, we did three ziplines, each one a little more adventurous than the last. We ended by stepping off a 45-foot platform, with the guides lowering us down on a cable. My kids (ages 12 and 14) had a blast. My husband and I loved it too. It was a great family adventure.

    My son used to come here long ago, but I recently joined their gym. I'm so impressed by what is…read morehappening here, they have a great facility and staff with a wonderful community outreach. The pool is remarkable, they expanded it from a much smaller size, so now it's much better for swimming laps. They have 2 certified life guards and safety seems like a priority. The locker rooms and showers are substantial, and everything is clean and well maintained. The weight room has a nice assortment of machines and free weights, and there's virtually now wait time. They have an impressive program for seniors, they provide coffee during the morning and at noon there is a free cafeteria style meal The staff is friendly and helpful, they have enthusiastic smiles and are always welcoming people. It's a nice community environment and outreach. Parking on the North Side is usually tight, but they have a big parking lot that makes it easy. The location couldn't be better, it's convenient to my house, and restaurants, museums and parks. I like that the organization has continued to grow and evolve over the years. Although they honor their tradition, they have expanded their facility and role in the community.

    I used to work here a couple months ago, I quit. The one thing that is very obvious with this…read morecommunity is that nobody is on top of their duties, the children they take care of, the activities given and even their employees. If you're pursing another career and in school please don't bother working here. They assume that doing things out of your job description is more important than YOU and your HEALTH. They don't care about their workers and especially your children! Nothing will be adequate for the people running this place and to be frank.. it's ran by 20 year olds with no children and with no idea. The staff continues to get worse and more disgusting by the years go by, since all the good people are in quitting. Please assign your children elsewhere and if you're looking for a job, stay far away from SHH.
