WHAT: The program will involve a progression from easier, less committing activities to challenge requiring more group trust and cooperation.
INITIATIVES: Groups will get to know each other better as they participate in various games and activities, providing a fun and active way to practice leadership, problem solving and decision making skills, and effective communication.
GROUP INTERACTIONS COURSE (Low Ropes): Particpants engage in concrete activities that transfer to new situations in the real world. Using constructed props on the ground level, groups improve their ability to plan, solve problems, make decisions and communicate effectively among themselves as they participate in various group challenges. Through these fun activities, participants will explore different roles within a group and appreciate the importance of diversity.
HIGH ROPES COURSE: The HRC offers particpants a unique change for individual challenge in a supportive and non-threatening environment. Moving through obstacles high up in the trees, for some the challenge my be physical, for others it may be mental or emotional. For all of us, though, stepping beyond our "comfort zone" and realizing success is a very empowering experience. Safe risk-taking leads to growth and improved self-confidence. Trust and group support are also valuable benefits of this course.
NEW ADDITIONS: a 40' climbing wall, pamper pole jump, and Dangle Duo. These great new high ropes activities are perfect additions to our current course. With these elements being indoor activities, no program can be halted due to weather.
