The Adventure Program is designed to develop trust, teamwork, group dynamics, communication and self esteem in youth and adults. The program consists of initiative activities and low- and high- ropes courses that challenge individual and group abilities.

The ropes courses consisit of a series of "elements" or indiviual activities. Skilled and trained facilitators work with each group on the course and determine which activities the group is ready for, physically, emotionally, and cognitively. Safety is our greatest concern; spotters and belayers are integral parts of our program.

Each program is designed to meet the needs of the individual group. Program length may vary, depending on the groups needs, but groups are encouraged to plan at least four hours on the course, if possible. Initiative activities are designed for ages eight and older, while participants on the hig-ropes portion of the program are required to be at least eleven years of age.

The Adventure Program is built in stages. Activities start out simple and develop into more involved and rewarrding activities throughout the program.

Experienced facilitators select activities that will challenge the group and encourage them to work together. As groups find successes, they will progress to more difficult activities with greater perceived risks and more powerful outcomes.
