High Ropes Course for Corporate Teambuilding

The ultimate purpose of a high ropes course is to explore risk, develop leadership, improve communication, and induce problem-solving. The challenges call upon members of the team to participate, and present unending opportunities for self-discovery and team growth.

Our course emphasizes risk-taking, trust, and coaching. By experiencing and managing all the different elements of the course, participants are challenged to expand their comfort zones… sometimes dramatically. They will also recognize fears that may be blocking personal and team achievements. Each moment is rich with discoveries, whether a person is climbing, supporting "on belay," or finding an effective way to encourage a teammate.

Workplace Benefits

 Unite new project teams together to build a foundation of trust and problem solving abilities.
 Celebrate success by kicking off an annual retreat with a fun and energizing experience.
 Instill interdependence as well as the ability to take calculated risks.
 Develop a means to improving communication.
 Clarify roles and responsibilities on a team.
 A means to strengthening a customer-client relationship.
 Integrate an enjoyable, but yet mind-stimulating, activity to break up a multi-day meeting.

Who is a Good Candidate for Teambuilding?

 Corporate Teams
 Small Businesses
 Support Groups: Business & Social
 School Field Trips
 Sport Teams
 Families.

Corporate Teambuilding Workshop Rates

1 1/2 hour workshop

15 minutes: Ground element exercises to help teach communication and teamwork.  It's also a great ice breaker to help participants relax and open up to the idea of working and communicating with each other.

30 minutes: Participants will challenge themselves on  2 or 3 of our "access elements."  These are 20 foot high ladders that vary in degree of difficulty.  Ladders that aren't your normal, everyday ladders.  We'll provide you with the names of the ladder, then let you use your imagination- Firecracker, Centipede, Caving Ladder, Prussic Climb, and the Traditional Rope Ladder.

45 minutes: Now comes the real thrill.  Taking that first step, high above everyone else, onto a single piece of rope (Bottomless Burma Bridge), or a wooden beam (Chain Beam) that is practically impossible to balance on.  Participants will work independently at times and with a partner at others. 

At the conclusion of the 1 1/2 hour workshop, participants will have different experiences.  Some will have improved their self confidence by facing a fear, and overcoming it.  Others may  have developed a new working relationship with someone on their team that they may not have had previously.  And, others may have a strong relationship solidified even more.

3 hour workshop

20 minutes: Ground element exercises to help teach communication and teamwork.  It's also a great ice breaker to help participants relax and open up to the idea of working and communicating with each other.  Participants will also learn and discuss how these communication and teamwork skills could be implemented in their current work environment.

45 minutes: Participants will learn how to perform 1 of 6 different rescue techniques.  You may ask, "Is there really a need to know how to do a rescue on a ropes course?"  The answer is a resounding YES.  Verbal rescues are quite common and used mainly to help a person who has become fatigued or scared in the middle of an element.  But, what if a participant has a heart attack?  CPR on a ropes course is impossible. 

Our ropes course instructors are trained to identify the need for a physical rescue, be on the ropes course and have the participant safely on the ground under the national required time of 6 minutes.  In fact, most of our instructors can do it in 3 minutes.  When it's not a real rescue, the training for this is extremely fun and exhilarating.  Especially when we make it a friendly competition!

45 minutes: Participants will challenge themselves on  all 5 of our "access elements."  These are 20 foot high ladders that vary in degree of difficulty.  Ladders that aren't your normal, everyday ladders.  We'll provide you with the names of the ladder, then let you use your imagination- Firecracker, Centipede, Caving Ladder, Prussic Climb, and the Traditional Rope Ladder.

70 minutes: Now comes the real thrill.  Taking that first step, high above everyone else, onto a single piece of rope (Bottomless Burma Bridge), or a wooden beam (Chain Beam) that is practically impossible to balance on.  Participants will work independently at times and with a partner at others.  During the 3 hour session, participants will manipulate the course in a few challenging ways that will test the communication and cooperation amongst the group.

And, lastly our participants will learn to rappel.  Climbing is always fun, and dropping while under the security of a belay is exciting too.  But, rappelling down from a platform is even more fun.  Participants will learn how to repel off a platform and will have 100% of the control to slow down and speed up within their very own grip.

At the conclusion of a 3 hour workshop, participants will have different experiences.  Some will have improved their self confidence by facing a fear, and overcoming it.  Others may  have developed a new working relationship with someone on their team that they may not have had previously.  And, others may have a strong relationship solidified even more.

Although participants take away many skills from adventure learning, they develop something else, and that is a stronger relationship between themselves and others they participated with.  The positive encouragement, cooperation, and teamwork is strengthened within the participants.
