We
offer programs for youth & teens groups including at
risk youth, middle school students, high school students,
gifted students, youth & teen probationers, foster children
and others. An adventure based experiential learning
experience which is fun, exciting, challenging and most of
all educational.
The Ropes Course involves a series
of events on ropes - with some events held up to 35 feet in
the air. The events provide an opportunity for the youth
to experience trust, support and to confront their fears.
No one is forced to do anything - but they are encouraged
to use this opportunity to go one step further than they thought
they could. Often, they find that once they've confronted
that fear and gone past it, they find they can go even further.
Challenge means going beyond
the old, pushing into new territory, new ways of
doing things, dealing with fear and accepting help and support.
Challenge presents an opportunity for change and success.
| The
course activities are designed to highlight
and instill
the following characteristics:
- Enhance leadership skills.
- Experience and practice people skills essential
for team-work.
- Stimulate mental flexibility to expand personal
limits.
- To react positively to encounter challenges in demanding
and changing situations.
- To increase physical and mental endurance.

IS IT SAFE? IS IT EASY?
Your personal safety is at the forefront. All activities occur
in a safe and supportive atmosphere. We use the "challenge
by choice" concept. Our professionally trained
instructors and facilitators encourage you to move beyond
your perceived limitations while respecting your decision
on how far you want to move outside your comfort zones. Cooperation
and mutual support, rather than competition and physical prowess
are emphasized. Although the program may be physically demanding,
each person chooses his or her challenges.
