One of the tallest rappelling and climbing towers has been built at the Iowa 4-H Education and Natural Resources Center near Madrid. The 50-foot tower, equipped with adjustable climbing holds, is designed to attract both rookie and experienced youths and adults. The tower also is handicapped accessible. It also will be a challenge for adults. Most towers are 30 feet high, which is nothing for an adult to climb.
Groups start out with our teams course to build their group interaction and support.
The next level of challenge could be our high ropes or the new tower. Our staff is fully trained to work with youths, adults and corporate groups. The center is open year round. Though the primary audience is 4-H youths, the center offers programs to schools, colleges, churches, civic groups and family reunions. The center has five villages with varying prices to accommodate various groups.
