What is a challenge or ropes course?
A challenge/ropes course is a collection of various elements constructed mainly of cables and wood. We describe the elements as ground, low, or high.
Ground and low elements create opportunities for group effort, communication, insightful problem solving, and cooperation.
High elements focus more on individual accomplishment requiring team support.
Our physical course is an indoor and outdoor course which consists of twelve high elements, over fifteen low elements, and an unlimited number of ground initiative games and equipment.

"We had a wonderful time. It was restorative for our residents and helped deliver some personal insights. It was also great team building. Thank you!" 鈥擩en
鈥淭he lady who was in charge clearly thought this through & individualized the program to our group. The debriefing & discussions after each activity were great & since our group was comprised of stuttering children, it provided a valuable communication & problem-solving component I wasn't expecting.鈥 鈥擶asatch Speech and Language Center
鈥淥n two different occasions, we have done the ropes course. We appreciated the opportunity for family on employee night. Our daughter loved it! For the other event, it was perfectly tailored for children with autism. Thank you!!鈥 鈥擲tephanie
鈥淓verything was fantastic. The facilitators were fun and informed. We've been to a couple ropes courses now and I really appreciate the team building nature of this course. Everything is focused on teams. I can't wait to come again.鈥 鈥擶avetronix
