What a Day at the Challenge Course Looks Like

When you arrive the Lead Facilitator for your group will greet you and get you checked in. After a brief Safety Orientation, we begin your program with a couple of Initiative Games. These games are fun, cooperative, and challenging in which the group is confronted with a specific problem to solve. These games are usually played on the field as a warm up exercise as well as getting your employees to interact with each other and our staff members. Initiative games are not designed to be competitive or to be a race against time. Initiative Games emphasize the more important objectives of leadership, problem solving, communication, self-esteem, trust, etc.

The next phase of the program is the Low Challenge Course. The Low Challenge Course  takes place on elements a few feet off the ground and might involve spotters to ensure the safety of individuals. These activities promote learning through experience in a team atmosphere.

Following the Low Challenge Course is the High Challenge Course. The High Challenge Course activities require participants to wear a harness as they will be “On Belay” approximately 25-40′ in the air. With their team’s support, each participant will experience personal challenges. Some potential outcomes are an increase in self-confidence, trust and the realization of the need to rely on others for support.         

A Debriefing/Reflection usually follows each activity. The facilitator ensures a thought provoking, safe discussion by asking meaningful questions. The purpose of the debriefing/reflection is to capture meaning and discuss the experience. This is an opportunity to reflect on the experience by identifying and sharing what we learned about ourselves and others. Participants discover meaningful connections between the activity and their own lives, thus increasing the learning. Potential outcomes could include an increase in communication between members of the group or realization of how to be efficient and productive within the group. 

Important concepts we want your employees to know about while they are here on the Challenge Course is Challenge By Choice and the Full Value Contract

Challenge by Choice

Challenge by Choice means that everyone is invited to participate voluntarily in activities and challenges of the program. A participant may choose to sit out , or only do as much as they are comfortable within an activity and this right is to be respected by others of their group.

Full Value Contract

A ropes course experience requires participants to be involved in perceived physical, emotional and social risks. It is
vital that a supportive group atmosphere is developed and that basic, agreed principles of engagement are shared by the group. A Full Value contract is a verbal mutual contract between the leaders and group members and the facilitators that expresses how the group will operate while moving toward its goals. The idea of a “Full Value Contract” is to have a contract that “fully values” each member of the group.
