The Challenge Course

The purpose of the course is to:

• Increase an individual's sense of confidence and self-esteem
• To increase mutual support within a group
• To develop abilities that contribute to group decision making and leadership
• To foster appreciation and respect for differences existing within the group 
• To develop an appreciation of the interdisciplinary nature of real problem solving
• To relate Christian principles with the experience
• To practice goal setting

How it works:

• In order for a group to reach a common goal, they are required to work together through the entire process whether they are entering the Meat Grinder, Teeter Totter Log, Rebirth, The Wall, or The Log Ladder.
• First the group is given a goal to accomplish. A collective decision must then be made on how to accomplish the task. The whole group follows through with their decisions until everyone has completed the task.
• The team will develop communication skills, cooperation, trust, determination, and decisiveness as they are challenged with the different events.

The Challenge Course is a series of cables, ropes and logs constructed in the trees. The Team Challenge Course is open March through October, weather permitting.
