Initiatives are exercises in group problem-solving.
Low elements are obstacles that focus on decision-making and trust as well as the skills developed in the earlier initiatives. The high elements are aerial obstacles that challenge participants to discover how they can transcend their expectations of themselves and their self-imposed limits. Anyone in average physical condition can participate at his or her own level. Participants are encouraged and prepared to attempt all the elements, but are not required to do so. Participants in the initiatives and low elements must by 7 years of age or older.
