March 4 - 11 games
Plenty to do between
North Myrtle Beach games
In just two weeks, the Wesley Wolverines and many of their fans will be packing for the trip to the Fastpitch Dreams Spring Classic where most games will be played at the North Myrtle Beach Park and Sports Complex (video), North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Below are assorted links -- far from a comprehensive list -- about the tournament's primary playing fields and "things to do" in the nearby area.
Since the games are played in early March, not all tourist attractions may be open for operation. Call ahead before making definite plans.
Miscellaneous links for:
North Myrtle Beach Park and Sports Complex
■ eco-friendly 162- acre park,

● GO APE! South Carolina’s first combination zip line and ropes course, features 40 obstacles set in the canopy of a six-acre forest. To get from treetop to treetop, participants have to climb rope ladders, cross a variety of precarious bridges, swing Tarzan-style from a rope onto a net and glide through the air on five zip lines. All along you’re securely fastened to an overhead cable. A junior course was added for kids age nine and younger. (Check in advance for availability.)
● Jetpack adventures apparently not operating this season.
