Ropes Course
Challenge and Ropes Course Team Building Programs
Challenge and Ropes courses present physical and mental team building challenges designed to improve existing interpersonal skills and help participants overcome barriers to personal and group growth. Both low, high an portable challenge courses reinforce themes of support, leadership, communication, feedback, problem solving, and group decision-making.
The challenge course industry grew out of a desire to implement a wilderness type experience in a fixed setting, as opposed to the expedition setting. A course is defined as a series of activities, sometimes on or close to the ground (usually referred to as a low course) and sometimes built on utility poles or trees, or in the rafters of a building (a high course).
The single identifying feature is that most often, it is an intact group which comes together to share the challenge course experience, and that a curriculum is designed for the specific outcome desired by that group.
Climbing walls have also become increasingly popular over the last years, as educational tools.
