Name Games

Name games are engaging activities designed to break the ice and foster a sense of camaraderie among participants before embarking on a ropes course adventure. These games typically involve participants introducing themselves in creative ways, using elements of the ropes course environment or equipment to add an extra layer of excitement.

Ground Initiatives

Ground initiatives are team-building activities that take place on the ground level, often serving as a precursor or complement to traditional low & high ropes course activities. These initiatives focus on promoting teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills among participants in a more accessible setting.

Low Ropes Activities

Low ropes course activities are team-building challenges that take place close to the ground, typically involving obstacles, structures, and props set at a lower height. Unlike high ropes courses, low ropes courses are situated closer to the ground, ensuring a lower physical risk. The low ropes course activities available at this time are Spiders Web and River Crossing.

High Ropes Course Activities

High ropes course activities are adventurous and challenging exercises that take place at an elevated height above the ground. The high ropes course activities available during the winter are crate stacking and giant swing. (Subject to availability)
