Ropes Courses
2008 - Date's to be announced
$100 per participant
A ropes course is a challenging outdoor personal development and team
building activity which usually consists of high and/or low elements. Low
elements take place on the ground or only a few feet above the ground. High
elements are usually constructed in trees or made of utility poles and
require a belay for safety.
Some of the commonly claimed outcomes
include enhancement of:
- Cooperation
- Decision making
- Self confidence
- Positive Risk Taking
- Cohesion
- Trust
- Self esteem
- Leadership
- Goal setting
- Teamwork
Ropes course programs can be designed to meet a number of educational,
developmental, and recreational goals. High ropes course and climbing
programs generally focus on personal achievements and ask participants to
confront their personal fears and anxieties. Challenges may be physical
and/or emotional. In certain cases, high element programs involve the
development and mastery of technical skills to manage rope belay systems
used to secure other climbers as they move through the course. In such
cases, outcomes often include exploring the fundamentals of trust,
craftsmanship, and coaching. Programs using low ropes course elements or
group initiatives are most often designed to explore group interaction,
problem-solving, and leadership.
