All Skill Levels Welcome

The ropes course has different levels of development. Groups will work on cooperative field initiatives first, then onto low ropes initiatives, and then to the high ropes elements. The ropes course is available for school outings, corporate retreats or any group wanting a team challenge.

Building Trust and Connections

• Field initiatives build connections within the group, establishing behavioral norms and establishing a level of trust.
• Low ropes, where personal risk is a factor, heightens the necessity of communication, support and trust within the group.
• High ropes challenge becomes a celebration of the group work so that every individual can experience powerful success.
