Challenge Course Programs

DSC_0481Our Ropes Course and Team Building Programs are designed to bring your group closer together, help the group achieve its goals, and allow every person to discover new strengths and a greater, more positive sense of self. These programs challenge individuals to step out of their everyday routine and experience something exciting, adventurous, and life changing. The entire experience is facilitated by our highly motivated, caring, and qualified staff. With three unique high ropes courses, dozens of challenges and games, and 256 acres of beautiful mountain wilderness, we can tailor our program design to your group’s special goals and needs.

An All Day Ropes Course Program is a 7-8 hour program (which includes a picnic lunch). In one phase of the two-part program, the group works on Team Building through a series of activities. The participants work together using each person’s unique qualities and the group’s decision-making skills to meet the challenges in these activities. As they reflect on each experience, the participants learn about leadership, trust, and communication. They are then able to apply these new insights to the next task. After the group has completed the first phase, they are ready for their next adventure.

The second phase of the program, the High Ropes Course, offers a variety of individual and/or partner challenges. Our high ropes courses are built outdoors on telephone poles and use climbing ropes, steel cables, and wood to create challenges 30 to 45 feet off the ground! One of the major benefits of a high ropes course experience is the increased self-esteem that participants get from doing things that they thought were not possible. As they complete the first challenge, their sense of confidence grows. Each new challenge offers the discovery of a new strength. The program is completed with a group reflection on the experience. These reflections help participants process the experience and discover how they can apply this new knowledge to other situations.

Our Half Day Programs are 3-4 hours and focus on either the high ropes course or the team building phases.

Groups who stay overnight in our Retreat Center facilities receive a discount on our programs and have the option to participate in a 2 Hour Ropes Course Program.
