The Ropes Course, also known as a challenge course, is a series of activities on structures made of telephone poles,cables and wood. Your group will navigate these structures, called elements, while our staff members facilitate. Through your group's efforts, issues that typically take weeks or even months to address can be brought to the forefront within hours due to participants feeling challenged and "out of their element". Beyond being merely fun, ropes courses provide a powerful and rewarding experience.
