Missouri Zipline Installation Company Designs Thrilling Zipline for Central Missouri Summer Camp: Case Study

When it comes to safe, fun, and imaginative zipline installations in Missouri, Missouri zipline installation company Zenith Zipline Installations has the experience and expertise to deliver. A recent challenge was to install a new zipline at a popular family summer camp in Central Missouri, near Columbia.


Show-Me Summer Camp, located in the heart of Missouri, has long served as a refreshing, enjoyable summer experience for children, families, and adults statewide. With a small lake for fishing and water sports, wood cabins and a lodge for group gatherings, it hosts its own camps and also rents its facilities to other groups. A major refresh and rehaul of the campground began last year.

When campground staff decided to add a zipline to their amenities, they turned to Zenith Zipline installers.

Missouri Zipline Installation Installation Challenges

Camp management wanted to use trees as anchor points for the zipline, and include a view of the on-site lake, without actually going over the lake itself. Most of the terrain around the lake is heavily wooded; access for equipment and personnel needed to install and maintain the zipline did not exist.

Additionally, since the zipline would be used by both adults and children, safety was a major concern. There needed to be plenty of room for riders and Camp staff at either end of the line.

Installers from Zenith Zipline Installations worked with Camp owners were able to identify two healthy, sturdy trees to use as anchor points. They were near the lake and at a modest elevation change from each other. It was decided to expand an existing path within the Camp to make a road between the new zipline and the camp lodge.

Zenith Zipline personnel recommended several options for zipline product equipment and agreed to focus on Acme brand products. They will offer ongoing regular inspections and maintenance to ensure that the zipline system remains in good condition. In addition, ZZI personnel held special training sessions for Camp staff members who would be stationed at the zipline.
