At 67, Mitchell and his wife were not content to watch their family adventure from below. They spent two and a half hours climbing through the Adventure Course - and finished already looking forward to next year.

Viren was terrified of heights, but he still stepped off WildPlay Nanaimo’s 150-foot Bungy bridge. He left proud, exhilarated and already considering an even bigger challenge: skydiving.

When a rope ladder stopped Simon from finishing the Adventure Course at WildPlay Nanaimo, he did not leave defeated. With help from the team - and plenty of humour - one unfinished attempt became a reason to return for a rematch.

Courage does not always look calm or confident. Sometimes it looks like gripping the ropes, stopping for a moment, and admitting that you are scared.
