HIGH ROPES COURSE
“High” is in the eyes of the beholder. “High Elements” in our terminology refers to the events that must be belayed (rope attachment system) to ensure the safety of a participant. High ropes course events are usually the ones most remembered by participants because of the drama, anxiety, overcoming fear, excitement and exhilaration experienced.
LOW ROPES COURSE
| “Low Elements” activities are characterized by group rather than individual participation and the absence of belay needs; i.e., rope protection. |
| These group challenges require people working together physically and mentally to achieve a goal. Your group will be engaged in activities that will be setting the foundation for the rest of the day. These activities are creative games and situations that promote problem solving from different perspectives as well as goal setting and looking out for each other. They demonstrate the importance of working together as a team to view a problem, coming up with a strategy to solve the problem and carrying through with the solution. |
| Low element activities provide groundwork and solution orientation for “real life” problems associated with personal relationships, school, occupations, etc. |
