I'm going to school camp very soon and school camp has a lot of activities that involve heights. I know what activities are there. I tried the giant flying fox in grade 7. I began to climb the ladder and I was like "You can do this". And I had to look down! I can't stop looking down! So I ended up not having a good time at camp. I've been on ferris wheels and Im excited when I'm at the top. I think it's because I know I'm safe....Is there a way I can conquer my fear of heights?

I'm the same way, I do is go to a hill and just see how long you can stand up there with out getting scared. Then move on to bigger heights,(mountains etc.) and then stya up there with some friends and pretty soon you'll be pretty much over your fear heights.

If you stand on a curb, what are the chances that you will suddenly just fall off? If you stepped onto the bottom rung of a ladder and are steady, what's the difference with being up another step or another? A fear of heights can be conquered by understanding what you are afraid of and more importantly, what you are capable of. I know this, because I had to overcome the same fear. Once I realized that whether I was standing on the ground or forty feet in the air on top of an airplane it made no difference, I wasn't going to fall just because I was higher. You will be safe, have fun and enjoy camp. You can do it.

Don't conquer it !!
Then you will never have another experience of climbing somewhere high and the adrenaline pumping through your veins when you jump down from 50 ft
