Outdoor
Adventure Program /
Indoor High Element Ropes Course
This adventure program works with youth to gain self-confidence in
themselves, to trust others, and to practice problem-solving skills through
the use of trust and teamwork exercises. This is a "challenge by
choice " program that allows youth to try difficult and challenging tasks
in a caring and supportive atmosphere. It also allows the child to
"back off " when they have self--doubt with the ability to try again
at a later time.
