The objectives of the Low Elements and Initiatives are to develop communication, cooperation, individual trust, group trust, decision making and problem solving skills. By addressing the problem or task as a group, the participants can take advantage of the combined mental and physical strengths of the entire group. An emphasis is always placed on safety while participants gain a willingness to explore supervised challenges. Each element is designed to achieve specific objectives under the supervision of trained leaders. The High Elements are individual challenges using utility type poles and cables 25-45 feet off the ground.
Emphasis is on personal goal setting and a sense of accomplishment.
On the high elements, the belay system plays a critical role both in safety and in developing trust. Safety harnesses and helmets are worn by all participants who are carefully attended to by their group members, as well as, a trained and certified staff member. To meet safety standards, a minimum of 8 participants are required. The staff to participant ratio is 1 facilitator to 12 participants. Our course can accommodate up to 8 groups, or 100 individuals.
