Challenge Course (High Elements)
Take it up a notch!
Our challenge course is a tool in helping build better teams. Our philosophy is that the ropes course reinforces team development from the previous experiences of team building and low-ropes activities by providing physical and mental challenges at height.
The challenge course creates a unique shared experience that brings individuals and teams together through growth, support, and accomplishment. Participants build trust, expand their comfort zones, strengthen team connections, and enjoy an engaging and memorable experience along the way.
Ropes Course
Take your team to new heights with our high ropes course experience featuring 20 unique obstacles and two partnered challenges designed to build confidence, communication, and trust.
Unlike traditional linear ropes courses, our course is designed with a “choose your own adventure” approach. Built like an interconnected spiderweb, each platform connects to multiple obstacle routes, allowing participants to navigate the course in different ways and create a personalized experience. This flexible design encourages decision-making, problem-solving, and individual choice while allowing participants to challenge themselves at their own pace.
Each element encourages participants to step outside their comfort zone while relying on teamwork, communication, and support from the group. The experience concludes with an exhilarating 300-foot zipline ride that participants will not soon forget.
High ropes course participation is available as part of a full-day program experience. Beginning with team-building initiatives and group development activities allows participants to establish trust, strengthen relationships, and create a supportive team environment before progressing to the high course challenges.
Rock Climbing and Giants Ladder
Expanding individual comfort zones and building trust within the group is easily achieved
through the rock-climbing tower and giant's ladder. These activities involve a team
belay system that requires 5 team members to hold the rope (belay) for a single climber.
At around 40 feet high, the rock-climbing tower boasts three sides, each presenting a greater challenge and requiring more advanced skills to master. The primary side is geared towards those new to the activity or at a beginner level, while the remaining two are designed for more experienced climbers at the proficient to expert level.
The giants ladder is another high element that pairs climbers together to ascend a larger-than-life ladder. Scaling the ladder requires careful planning, clear communication, and precise execution as the rungs become increasingly spaced apart with each step. The giants ladder uses the same team belay that is utilized for rock climbing.
