Low Ropes
Designed to develop and strengthen communication skills, collaboration, leadership, and problem-solving skills, challenge your team to support each other on our Low Ropes course.
The Great Race
Teams will race against each other to solve puzzles, earning points and prizes along the way. Each challenge can only be solved through eamwork, leadership, and communication.
Sharpshooter Challenge
Teams will compete over multiple rounds, and fire arrows at targets for points. Our trained facilitators will provide instruction, safety, and equipment. No archery experience required!
MacGyver Challenge
Teams will retrieve prizes or build structures using only the limited supplies they are provided. Our facilitators will debrief to summarize key takeaways and insights.
The Domino Effect
