ACTIVITIES

CHALLENGE BY CHOICE

Whatever the challenge, be it climbing to the top of our Pole Climb, solving one of our team building problems, or biking down a trail for the first time--we know you'll get more out of the experience if YOU decide to try it yourself. This is why we train our leaders and instructors to provide a safe and encouraging atmosphere for all participants. Each activity is instructed from the most basic level and then tailored to the enthusiasm and abilities of the individuals and group as a whole. Are you an avid climber, paddler, or biker? We can challenge you, and we think you'll enjoy helping others in your group challenge themselves too.

ACTIVITY GROUPS

We do our best to limit the size of Activity Groups to no more than 14 at a time (12 kids and 2 leaders, or 13 participants and 1 chaperone). This ensures that each individual gets ample time to complete the activity, one-on-one instruction, and the best possible ratio of staff to participant for safety. This limitation is firm for any off-site activities requiring vehicle transport, though on-site we may be able to adjust to fit the demands of your schedule.

◦ Large Group Teambuilding Initiatives A great way to warm up, get to know each other and gradually break down social barriers. Highly recommended for groups who don't know each other well and an awesome way to re-energize for any groups just getting off the bus after a long ride! Everyone in a group does this together with our staff facilitators.

◦ Low Element Teambuilding Course Our best, most popular, and most enjoyed activity is Low Elements or sometimes called "Lo Ropes." Based on a pre-arrival questionnaire, our Leaders will guide each activity group through a sequence of teambuilding challenges and debriefs that will offer groups the chance to get to know each other better, understand their part of the group as a whole, and ultimately become a better team. Our many activities have a variety of purpose including the development of communication, trust, leadership skills, decision making, group awareness and comfort, and personal confidence.

◦ 900’ Zip Line It used to the be the longest Zip Line on the East Coast, and even though it's no longer got that title, it's still one awesome thrill. We recommend this for groups looking for a confidence-building and fun experience. Often, groups save it for the last day with us as a "Grande Finale," other groups will do it as their main event--either way it will get your blood pumping and we know you won't regret it!
