A challenge ropes course consists of a series of specially-designed high and low element apparatus, that offer a unique combination of perceived risk, along with both mental and physical challenges. Each element challenges the participant to experience unfamiliar sensations and situations, and to face their own trepidation. All participants wear a helmet and a harness on the high elements, and are actively belayed by our volunteer facilitators. Confronted with the perceived danger of heights, and with the safety of the harness, participants can opt to push the limits of their mental concentration to control their physical actions.
Many participants find themselves surprised at what they're able to do.
