Challenge Course

The Challenge Course is an experiential learning course that develops team unity, communication and problem solving skills in all participants. A group is only as effective as their ability to work together during challenges. The newly built and redesigned challenge course will provide the group with a variety of problem solving activities and challenges. Only through efficient team cooperation will success be achieved. Trained instructors use the low ropes elements to facilitate the group through cooperation, communication, and problem solving skills.

High Ropes

If Tarzan Swing, Hour Glass, and Burma Bridge are new ideas to you, then come and stretch your comfort zone at our high ropes course. Perched 30 feet off the ground, in beautiful hardwood forests, the high ropes course will challenge you to reach new heights. In a safe, instructed environment the staff will facilitate the group through a variety of challenging activities. As much as personal limits will be stretched, we guarantee that your group will be drawn closer together with each new climber.
