Challenge Course Components
Games and Initiatives
- The purpose of games and initiatives is to take the group from a simple warm-up to more complex problems requiring the group to plan and implement strategies to successfully complete a task.
This time is necessary for the group to stretch, get to know one another, and to take small risks. Games and initiatives set a team building tone for the day.
Low Elements
- The purpose of low elements is to move participants through a series of activities that are anywhere from ground level to three feet off the ground.
Each element presents a unique degree of difficulty and must be accomplished as a group.
High Elements
- Imagine walking across a narrow log 35 feet off the ground or jumping from the top of a pole the size of a dinner plate to catch a trapeze bar! These elements involve one or two person events, 5-30 feet above the ground.
Each participant is safely harnessed and belayed by his/her trained teammates. These elements develop and enhance trust, accomplishment and feelings of self-worth.
- *Minimum age to participate in the high elements is 12 years old.
- *Persons with disabilities can be accommodated in most cases prior to notification.
